BAKFlip G2 Replacement Parts Kit | Official BAKFlip Parts
Our official BAKFlip G2 parts kit contains every component needed to restore or maintain your tonneau cover’s original factory performance. Each kit includes genuine aluminum hinges, EPDM weather seals, stainless steel mounting clamps, and all necessary hardware — the same parts used in new G2 production.
Designed for truck owners who want to extend their tonneau cover’s lifespan without replacing the entire system, this kit addresses common wear points including hinge assemblies, drain tubes, and rail seals. Every component meets our factory specifications for fit and durability, ensuring your G2 continues protecting your truck bed for years to come.
- Complete hinge assembly set — four aluminum hinges with stainless pivot pins
- EPDM rubber seals for front, side, and rear rails — UV and temperature resistant
- Stainless steel clamp hardware — corrosion-proof mounting system
- Drain tube kit with grommets for water channeling
- Installation hardware pack — bolts, washers, and tension adjusters
Materials & Component Construction
Every component in our BAKFlip G2 parts kit uses the same materials found in factory-new tonneau covers. The hinge assemblies feature 6000-series aluminum extrusions — the same aerospace-grade alloy used throughout the G2 panel system — paired with stainless steel pivot pins that won’t corrode or bind over time.
Our EPDM weather sealing matches the original rubber compound specifications, formulated to remain flexible in temperatures from -40°F to 180°F without cracking or losing compression. The drain tube system uses reinforced vinyl tubing with molded grommets that seat precisely into the panel channels, preventing water intrusion even during pressure washing.
Installation Process & Tools Required
Basic Hand Tools
Installing G2 replacement parts requires only standard hand tools you likely already own. You’ll need a 10mm socket wrench, Phillips screwdriver, and adjustable wrench for the clamp hardware. A torque wrench is recommended but not required — our installation guide includes finger-tight specifications that achieve proper tension without specialized equipment.
Most component replacements take 30-45 minutes per hinge assembly or seal section. The drain tube installation requires removing the front panel to access the internal channels, adding approximately 20 minutes to total installation time.
Common Wear Points & Maintenance Schedule
BAKFlip G2 tonneau covers typically require parts replacement between 5-7 years of regular use, though exposure to extreme climates or frequent hauling can accelerate component wear. The most common replacement needs involve hinge assemblies and weather seals — both designed as serviceable items rather than lifetime components.
Hinges show wear through increased panel wobble when opening or difficulty achieving a flat deck position. Our aluminum hinges restore the original tight pivot action that keeps panels aligned during operation. If you notice water pooling on panels or moisture inside the bed after rain, the rail seals have likely compressed beyond their effective sealing range.

BAKFlip G2 Parts & Installation Questions
If your G2’s aluminum panels are straight and undamaged, replacement parts will restore full functionality at a fraction of new cover cost. Order this kit if you’re experiencing loose hinges, water leaks, or worn seals but the panel frames remain solid.
Consider a complete replacement only if panels are bent, cracked, or show stress fractures near hinge mounting points. Surface scratches and finish wear don’t affect cover performance and aren’t reasons to replace the entire system.
Yes — our parts kit includes everything needed for DIY installation using common hand tools. The illustrated guide provides step-by-step instructions with torque specifications and component diagrams. Most truck owners complete installation in 1-3 hours depending on how many components they’re replacing.
No drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications are required. If you originally installed your G2 tonneau cover yourself, you’ll find parts replacement equally straightforward.
Yes — this parts kit fits all BAKFlip G2 covers regardless of truck make, model, or bed length. Our G2 design uses universal component dimensions across all applications from 2007 to present.
Hinges, seals, clamps, and drain tubes are identical whether your G2 is installed on a Ford, Chevy, Ram, Toyota, or any other truck platform. Panel length doesn’t affect parts compatibility since these components attach to the universal rail and hinge mounting points.
Aluminum hinge assemblies and stainless steel hardware carry our lifetime warranty and should never require replacement again under normal use. EPDM weather seals typically last 5-7 years before compression wear necessitates replacement.
Drain tubes can last 8-10 years with annual cleaning maintenance. Actual component lifespan depends on climate exposure, usage frequency, and maintenance practices. Trucks in harsh sun or extreme temperature regions may see slightly accelerated seal wear.
This complete kit includes four hinge assemblies, full rail seal sets for front/side/rear positions, stainless steel clamp hardware, drain tubes with grommets, and all mounting bolts and washers. You’re getting every serviceable component in one package.
Buying these parts separately would cost approximately $145 versus the $89.99 kit price. The kit ensures you have matched components and eliminates the need to identify individual part numbers for your specific G2 configuration.
We offer individual component kits if you only need specific parts. The seal-only kit contains all EPDM rubber strips for $34.99, while the hinge-only kit with four assemblies is $49.99.
However, most customers find the complete parts kit more economical when replacing multiple components. If your G2 needs new hinges, the seals are likely due for replacement as well since both wear on similar timelines.
Yes — every parts kit includes our comprehensive illustrated installation guide with exploded-view diagrams, step-by-step procedures, and torque specifications. All necessary mounting hardware is included: stainless steel bolts, washers, lock washers, and nylon-patch nuts.
You don’t need to source any additional components or fasteners. The only tools required are a 10mm socket wrench, Phillips screwdriver, and adjustable wrench — common items in most home toolboxes.
