Removing bakflip F1

[bsimms89]

I'm about to pick up my new raptor in a few days and I am definatly going to put on some sort of bed cover. I am currently leaning towards the bakflip F1 because I'm not a fan of soft covers but dont want a hard fiberglass cover either. I regularly remove my bed covers and put them back on, I know that it says 30 minutes to install the first time, but after you have the rails installed how long does it take to remove the cover and put it back on each time?

Around 5 mins. I hardly ever remove mine though. I just fold it up and lean it on the cab with the support rails. No need to see directly out the back in that case. I have mirrors and a backup camera.

Ok, but if I want to completely remove it what exactly is involved?

You loosen two knobs under the last section of cover (closest to cab) that attach to an installed bracket. Very easy removal. Takes a few more minutes to line it up when reinstalling.

Yeah, it's a piece of cake to remove. After I installed mine, I was surprised at how easy it was to remove. In 10 minutes your could easily remove the cover and the rails that hold it in place.

If you leave the rails on and just take the cover off, it'll probably take you 5-10 minutes at the most to remove or replace, with sips of beer as you work.

If you take the rails off and on, well, then you are fully uninstalling/reinstalling and it'll take a little longer.
