What’s included in your hardware kit
Materials & Construction Built for the Long Haul
We manufacture every BAKFlip MX4 Hardware Kit component from corrosion-resistant materials that stand up to rain, snow, road salt, and UV exposure. The mounting clamps feature CNC-machined aluminum construction with anodized finishes that won’t chip or peel over time.
All fasteners use marine-grade stainless steel rated for outdoor use in harsh climates. You’ll never deal with seized bolts or rusted threads when adjustments are needed. The rubber seal strips resist cracking in freezing temperatures and maintain flexibility in desert heat.
Installation & Compatibility Across Truck Models
This hardware kit installs on any BAKFlip MX4 tonneau cover regardless of your truck’s make, model, or bed length. We’ve designed universal mounting points that align with Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, RAM 1500, GMC Sierra, Toyota Tundra, and Nissan Titan bed rail configurations.
Installation takes 45-60 minutes with basic hand tools — no drilling required on factory bed rails. Our step-by-step guide walks you through clamp positioning, torque specifications, and seal placement for a weather-tight fit. Each mounting bracket features slotted adjustment holes so you can fine-tune alignment even on beds with slight dimensional variations.
What’s Included & Component Breakdown
Left & Right Bed Rail Mounting Systems
Your kit ships with complete clamp assemblies for both driver and passenger side bed rails. Each side includes two heavy-duty C-clamps, four stainless steel bolts with lock washers, and pre-cut rubber seal strips that create a water-resistant barrier between clamp and rail.
Panel Hinge & Support Hardware
We include all fasteners needed to secure the MX4’s aluminum panel hinges to your mounting brackets. You’ll receive eight button-head bolts with thread-locking compound pre-applied, plus backup fasteners for future maintenance. The kit also contains drain tube mounting clips that route water away from the cab.

BAKFlip MX4 Hardware Kit Questions
Yes, this hardware kit is universally compatible with every BAKFlip MX4 tonneau cover regardless of your truck’s make, model, or bed length. The mounting system works with Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, Chevy Silverado 1500-3500, GMC Sierra, RAM 1500-3500, Toyota Tundra, and Nissan Titan trucks from 2000 to current model years.
The kit includes adjustable clamps and slotted brackets that accommodate variations in bed rail dimensions across different manufacturers. Whether you have a 5.5-foot, 6.5-foot, or 8-foot bed, the hardware adjusts to create a secure, weather-tight installation.
Absolutely. This complete hardware kit provides all mounting clamps, brackets, fasteners, and seals needed to install a pre-owned BAKFlip MX4 tonneau cover on your truck bed. Many customers buy used MX4 panels without installation hardware, and this kit gives you every component for a factory-quality installation.
You’ll receive the same parts that come with new tonneau covers, including bed rail clamps, stainless steel bolts, rubber seals, drain tube clips, and panel hinge fasteners. The included installation guide walks you through the complete mounting process step-by-step.
Most truck owners complete installation in 45-60 minutes using basic hand tools. You’ll need a socket wrench, torque wrench (optional but recommended), and Allen keys — all common garage tools.
The process involves positioning the bed rail clamps, securing them with the provided stainless steel bolts, attaching mounting brackets to the clamps, and then connecting your MX4 panels to the brackets. Our detailed installation guide includes photos of each step, and we provide access to video tutorials that show the entire process in real time. Experienced DIYers often finish in 30 minutes once they’ve done it once.
While this complete kit includes all mounting hardware, we also sell individual replacement clamps, brackets, and fasteners through our replacement parts program. If you only need to replace one damaged component, you don’t have to purchase an entire kit.
However, many customers choose to buy the full hardware kit when replacing worn parts because it ensures all components have matching wear levels and corrosion resistance. After several years of use, refreshing all hardware with new parts from this kit often improves your cover’s operation and extends its lifespan significantly.
Yes, every bolt, washer, and nut in this kit uses marine-grade stainless steel (typically 304 or 316 grade) that resists rust and corrosion. This matters because your tonneau cover hardware faces constant exposure to rain, road salt, mud, and temperature extremes.
Standard zinc-plated bolts corrode over time, making future adjustments difficult or impossible when threads seize. Our stainless steel fasteners maintain their integrity for years, allowing you to remove and reinstall components whenever needed. They also prevent rust stains on your truck’s paint and bed rails, keeping your installation looking clean long-term.
Yes, the BAKFlip MX4 mounting system works with most bedliners including drop-in plastic liners, spray-in coatings, and bed mats. The clamps attach to the top edge of your bed rails, which typically remain exposed even with liners installed.
If you have an over-rail bedliner that covers the top surface of your bed rails, you may need to trim the liner slightly to expose the mounting surface. The included rubber seals compress to accommodate small thickness variations from spray-in liners. For thick drop-in liners that affect bed rail height, the adjustable clamps provide enough range to achieve proper tension and alignment.
We recommend inspecting your hardware and checking bolt torque after the first 100 miles of driving, then every six months during routine maintenance. Temperature changes and normal bed flex can cause fasteners to settle slightly during the initial break-in period.
Retightening takes just 10-15 minutes with a socket wrench. Check that all clamp bolts meet the specified torque (typically 15-20 ft-lbs, detailed in your installation guide) and inspect rubber seals for proper compression. If you frequently drive on rough roads, haul heavy loads, or use your truck for off-road adventures, quarterly inspections help catch any loose hardware before it affects your cover’s performance.
