Looking at buying the BakFlip HD bed cover for the raptor but have some questions on the install I'm hoping someone here can help with.

I have the ford plastic bed liner installed. The directions state no drilling required for the rails so I assume I have to remove the top moldings so I can get to holes behind the liner and drill through bed liner?

Also, it states you have to drill two drain holes, I thought our trucks have this already drilled? If so, then what has to be done to get both drain tubes installed.

How do you like the cover overall?

Thank you for the help!

The BakFlip rails use 3 clamps per side. No drilling, and your bedliner should not be in the way. As far as the 2 drip tubes, you will need to just drill 3/4" - 1" holes through your plastic bedliner, and through the factory Oval plastic plugs in the front wall of your bed.

Under cover flex is nice, is it better than the bak flip hd or the same and a little cheaper?

the only concern i have is will the rivets in the side rail hold up as long or longer than the ones on a bakflip. the local distributors are saying the bakflip rivets rust out in 3 to 4 years after installation.
