Installed a New Bak Revolver X4s Tonneau Cover

[jj4567]

Any other stake pocket bed rack systems out there with roll-up/folding tonneau cover compatibility (not Retrax Pro rail)? Seems like Adarac is the only option. Surprising too, as I would think there’d be a huge market for this - missed opportunity from Thule & Yakima.

Got the Adarac installed and bought a pair of Yakima bike racks from REI. Everything is, at last, fine.

Does anybody know the answer to these two questions:

1) can you roll it up partially and if so how does it stay?

2) is it easy to take on and off completely if you want to?

thank you!

1. You could roll it partially, but there's no way to secure it in place. To keep it secure it's either full open or full closed.

2. There are two hand tightened knobs per side to hold it on the rails. It wouldn't be too difficult to remove if you had too. The biggest issue would just be getting it all lined back up after putting it back on.

any concerns the vinyl will fade quickly? I prefer the x4s over the mx4, but want something that will last awhile in the southern summer heat.

I've turned this over in my head quite a bit.. I like the look of the X4S but the roll up takes up some space and I'd rather not have a vinyl truck cover again. I think the Leer HF650M will be my selection.

I installed mine ~1 week after I got my truck as I wanted to get Line-X done first. It has been in since the beginning of August 2021 and still looks basically the same. The shininess of the vinyl has faded some, but it doesn't look faded at all. One of my old coworkers had the X4 and their cover also still looked relatively black, though I don't know the age of it.

I've had this X4s on my short bed for 7 or 8 months and it doesn't leak a drop. When you put yours on spray a little silicone lubricant where the rubber seals meet the tailgate at the corners and they will not crumple up, in fact they slide perfectly along the tailgate surface like they were meant to do and haven't wrinkled since I did that. I'm very satisfied with mine.

any good suggestions on good pricing for the x4s online?
