Video

yup

I assume you mean the triangular cutout sections of the sail panels on the Avalanche. That is my truck in the video, and those are custom made to fit the space both on the inside and outside. It was done in CA, so if you are interested in getting some, I can send you the information. BTW - Others have asked what the symbol on the sail panel glass means. Not Of This World

@@MultiEviscerator Thank You sir.

I'd be interested in getting some of those sail panels windows as well if you can get me the information as well.@@MultiEviscerator

@@andrewnelson2066 I cannot remember if I sent the information to Bartyhummer directly or not, and now I am not positive if I still have the contact info for the vendor. Let me look into it, and if you have not heard back from me privately or in this thread, give me a friendly reminder after the first of the year.

No, it does not leak, and as I have pointed out, it is my truck in the video.

I disagree, as it has kept my bed dry and nothing has ever been stolen from it.

I know right, he said thousands of dollars to get original from GM if they are faded when I just got mine painted and it looks 100xs better smh

Incorrect

Indeed, as nothing on the market does everything the Avalanche does.

I have one and I completely agree. She’s very unique and is very convenient for me

Facts

You’re getting your wish, unfortunately it’s coming out as an all electric truck. Which in my opinion sucks. However they found a way to make it with a full width and length bed.

be careful of what you wish for. usually when they bring back something, it gets the royal cheap out treatment. this ship has sailed just like the Blazer, and all the rest of the great vehicles.

What a negative comment based on a persons looks and age. I have the same hairstyle I did in HS and still wear jeans most of the time. Outward appearance means very little. Since it is my personal truck he installed the BakFlip on, I can tell you the product is great, as well as his professional instillation. So if you judged him on his looks, you would be selling yourself short.

By the way self tapping screws suck drill pilot holes. lol

Rowdy Roddy Pipper was terrific back in the day!! Only Rick could entertain on the same level.

He looks more like nick nolte from 48 hours movie

Now that is funny,,,,I don't care who you are.

Watch the video. He shows you how to do that.

The original panels lock from the inside with metal brackets. You can not break into them from the outside, unless you absolutely destroy them with an axe or something. And they are way more heavy duty. The only upside I see to this would being able to fold them up and leave them like that to use the bed space for hauling things.

@@bradleymenezes6196 The original panels from the factory were being pried up (I wont say how publicly) in part because they were individual, not one contagious system like this one is. Regardless, as you point out one of the great aspects of the BakFlip system is you never need to remove the panels and then store them (taking up bed space) so they themselves don't get stolen or lost. They also don't fade with minimal washing/maintenance. As I mentioned, the Avalanche in the video is my actual truck, and I still have the BakFlip system in place. It is convenient and secure. FYI - a couple of people have reached out to me asking how to buy one. I do not own nor work for the company. So while I am happy to answer any questions about my personal experience with it, you would need to contact them directly for sales information.

@@MultiEviscerator yeah but how much water gets back there? And dont worry you dont need to answer any questions about the product lol

@@MultiEvisceratoralso wondering how they will age. My covers are original from 2004 so 17 years old. They are faded just like the rest of the cladding but they have still held up and are still working fine. The only thing is the rear panel or 3rd panel by the tailgate seems to have a bit of a sag to it in the middle. Which allows water to drip down the inside of the tailgate. Is yours flush against the tailgate with some kind of stripping?

@@bradleymenezes6196 To answer both questions, I do not have any water leakage to this very day, otherwise I would not be such a fan. That said, it was obviously installed by someone who knew what they are doing. As to the last piece closing, it slightly overhangs the very inside and has a flap that lays on top of the tailgate surface. Now I do silicone it now and again to keep it supple. The panels themselves are painted aluminum, so just spraying some car wax/polymer on them like you do the paint helps keep them protected and looking great. Certainly better than the factory panels. In regard to your faded bed covers, sail panels, cladding, etc., there is a product that far exceeds all others and lasts for years with just one application ( though I like to apply two coats, one day apart). It is called Refinish Restorer, and rest assured there is nothing better on the market.

If you still have your avalanche and you are having problems with keeping the panels black, I did mine with Forever Black Tire Gel. It gets it black in 1 application, but is best with 2 and it stays after several washes. I always want to go up to people with faded avalanches to tell them my secret, but I don't want them to get mad. Don't get it on your paint or you going to have to get a clay bar to get it off. Tape off areas near the painted areas.

My old avalanche didn't have the panels. It had the one piece soft cover. That thing was a pain in the ass overtime to keep putting back on.

Gzeramee Bush what year avalanche did you look for? apparently they don't have one for the only year that mattered. 2002 BABY! ;-)

lol

The original or the aftermarket cover ?

Where can I find this and how much

I want to know too did you find out?

no I didn't. I did find one website that had them at one time but they stopped making them.

Why cant you drive with the rear window blocked?? I drive A tractor trailer and only have mirrors to rely on. No rear window

didnt op for backup camera? lol

you only fold it all the way back if you have tall cargo in the bed, which block your view anyway

@@johnrussell7385 if you need back up camera to drive a pick up, you really need a smaller car

@@DocHemi4268 this post was over a year ago also you cant see through a body and frame you dipshit. I dont take risks of hitting children because I equate my masculinity with a hunk of metal lol
