I see the side bolts are M8-1.25 x 12mm. What are the front bolts? (I'll make 'em match the black bracket...black 12.9 button head.)

Gents,

The side bolts need to be around 3 inches long (80mm). The bolts that are listed are way to short for the side or the back of the bed.

12mm is less than 1/2 inch.

Thanks!

I'm lining up everything I need before I get my truck. Once it's here, obviously I can pull the bolts and check, but then I'll have to wait to install my cover while my ordered replacement bolts get shipped.

Ok. This is my first post. But I want you guys to know that the Truxedo Sentry available for the multi-function tailgate. They have two version. I have the sentry and the also have the sentry CT. It is a hard roll-up cover. It is also low profile. They just finish designing the rails last week. I had to wait 3 weeks to get it, but it is better than expected. Had the Solid-Fold 2.0 and did not like. I have included some pics.

I’m glad to see now one cover that fits without modification the MFT and hope to see a few more companies adding an option. Looks great.

I took the info from someplace on the site - if they don't work I'm not going to worry. thought it gave a cleaner look anyway

Check half way down the page from another member - this is where I got the info and by the pictures they look like they fit.

tonneau covers that work with the multifunction tailgate?

I look forward to hearing how it goes. I ordered my Right On brackets this morning to replace the factory brackets and to see how they fit. If the X4 can be installed with the Right On brackets then I will be ordering my X4 as soon as we return from our trip. right on brackets?

Any issues with closing the tailgate with the cover in place? Looks great!

If you only open the Left hand side, you could throw something in. But you do need to release the back latches, close the tailgate then latch them back.

Are you saying you can't open/close the tailgate without unlatching/relatching the cover?

Kind of sounds like a Pain in the rear. Is that similar to all other covers folks have gone with. This looked like the simple solution but with a minor issue. My wife, if ever used it would totally keep slamming this in. Would not be pretty.

With the Bak Revolver X4s I can open/close the tailgate any which way without touching the cover.

 

[enigmaaron]

Here’s a closer look at how the Bak Revolver X4s seals against the tailgate. The Tuxedo looks like it is probably a better seal since it is along the top, but the trade off is having to re-close the cover whenever you open the tailgate. The Bak has a gasket that presses against the upper inside edge of the tailgate, and the cover extends over the top a little bit but there is no seal on top.

 

[User_55621]

I connected with Truxedo on the Sentry and Sentry CT about closing the tailgate. Here is what they said: Our guidance would be to close the tailgate first and then the close the tonneau cover. The rear header seal will lay flat across the tailgate providing the best water management. You can do it other way and the rear header seal will “train itself” to close to the inside of the tailgate. It’s just not optimal in our opinion.

So it makes sense.

You can open the doors/tailgate. But if you close it without unlatching then the rubber would not sit correctly on the top of the tailgate.

This is why I love my LoMax. I can close/open the doors and have no issues with the seal.

My dealer said that they could install a Backflip MX 4 on my 2021 1500 limited with MFT.

Please let us know how they are doing that. I cannot see how it can be done with the OEM corner brackets.

 

[User_55621]

I put on on my Truxedo Senty today. The side rail by the cab did not sit flush which was due to the bracket. Loosened up the brackets and pounded a rubber mallet and then it lowered and leveled them out. Tightened down the rails on and off to the races. Re-tightened everything. Overall very pleased with it so far.

I thought the same thing, but they claim it can be done with the braces in place. The one thing I know is that they assured me that whatever they do it will not void the warranty.
