In this video I perform a quick install of a tri-fold hard tonneau cover for my 2021 GMC Sierra AT4. This one is manufactured by REV Industries (which apparently is also the same as the BAKFLIP product). I have used these before and they are durable, light weight, provide some security as we as cutdown on wind resistance.
If ordering from the dealership: Here is the GM part number Bed Tonneau Cover - Hard Folding - GM (19418277)

Very much appreciate your posting this! I bought my REV tonneau cover while GMC had a 20%-off sale. I self-installed it on my 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT in less than an hour (the dealership wanted $360 to do the job). All in all, I saved $600, and that is in no small part because of this video. Thank you!

I have 2022 Silverado 2500. I will be putting a camper in and out of the truck throughout the spring - fall seasons. In between I want to have a tonneau cover on. I was thinking of getting the Lomax cover because it is very easy to remove and no adjustment required to reinstall it. Do you think this GM/Rev cover will work well being removed and replaced 6-109 times a year? Is adjustment required when reinstalling it? Thanks

I do not recommend the Bakflip G2. Just installed the G2 cover on a '22 Frontier. I had to grind out mounting bracket slots for it to fit. It leaks at EVERY fold seam. I am certain it will not be long before the foam core is damaged by the water collecting inside the cover. The rear corners do not cover the tail gate gaps at all so water is drawn in while driving.

Great video, thanks for taking the time to edit and upload. Thumbs up. I do have one question, to be able to fit my quad in my bed I would need to remove the cover to allow my quad be positioned forward as much as possible. To remove the cover it looks like only two hand tighten screws? Should only take 5 min to remove you think?

@Donslife 2 жыл бұрын

You are right about removal. It is awkward with one person though, I would suggest a helper if you have on so you don’t dent or scratch anything

I would suggest loosening all of the hardware just a enough that you can shift the cover and rails around. Then line up exactly where you need the cover to sit. Then retighten all of the hardware.

Hi Robert, thanks for checking out the video. I haven't had any leaks or water pooling by the cab. However, there have been some droplets of water accumulating on the bed by the tailgate hinges. I think wind driven rain comes through the top back corners. Not a big deal for me

What part of the bed cover sits on the bulkhead seal? I noticed you had to relocate the seal after the first attempt.

@Donslife 2 жыл бұрын

The front fixed portion has an aluminum lip that rests on the bulkhead. The instructions have the foam seal applied during one of the first steps. I learned I was better off fully aligning the back with the tailgate first, then noting where to affix the bulkhead seal

I have a 2023 Silverado 1500 and just purchased the REV cover. I wanted to also buy the tent that you can install inside the bed Part #19417137. However, no one at GM or the Dealer knows if it would fit. According to the FAQ's on the Chevy Accessory web site it says it would fit the roll up cover if the diameter is 6" or less. It does not say anything about the tri fold cover. It appears that there are two bolts with wing nuts underneath holding the cover down. So I'm thinking you will have to unscrew the nuts and take off the cover to install the aforementioned tent. What is your thoughts?

@Donslife Жыл бұрын

I think I agree with your approach. It is simple to remove the two bolts with the grab handles and lift the cover off. It can be awkward to lift alone but it is possible.
