CARE AND MAINTENANCE
BAK Flip tonneaus are made from durable materials and require simple care to ensure a long life of performing well and
looking great.
Cleaning the Top (Washing)
Standard automotive soap and water with a soft sponge or cloth is recommended for cleaning. Shammy dry to keep
the finish polished and brilliant. Wax is NOT recommended as it tends to fill in cracks and crevices, which may affect the
textured panel finish. Do NOT use any harsh cleaners or abrasives.
Treating the Vinyl Top
3M 303 Aerospace Protectant may be used to keep the vinyl surface clean and protected from the elements and will also
remove any water spots that may have developed. 303 Aerospace not only protects against fading, discoloration and
cracking from harmful UV rays, but repels dust and stains. Simply spray on and wipe dry for a beautiful, matte finish that
protects your cover from road grime and dust.
Maintenance
It is recommended that you periodically check your cover is securely attached to your truck bed. Inspect the clamps and
front mounting bolts to ensure they were properly installed and have not come loose or knocked out of adjustment
during operation. Covers that are used with high frequency or that are subject to the vibrations and impact from rough
roadways can cause the cover to require adjustment.
Lubricating the Latches
It is recommended that you periodically inspect and service the latches on each panel. Clean away any excess dirt or
grime and lubricate with silicone spray. Ensure the latches move freely in and out to properly engage the side rail and
provide proper performance with optimum security. Be careful not to overspray the cover. Wipe away any excess around
