I also had issues with the finish on two of my BAKs. So far the ProZ is holding up well.

Agree with Baks of more than 2 years ago. But you can close the tailgate with the cover down. Added extra gasket around tailgate. And there is a night/day difference between the M1 and F1 tops regarding dings and weather issues. Linex also has similar tops as well. I wouldn’t use the aluminum top in Florida because of our numerous hailstorms. Just thought people here need to realize there have been improvements to past problems.

will follow up on install after I get the truck.

I bought my last tonneau from Linex around June10.
Interesting that I have the same part #TG95330 but mine is labeled Line-X FRP not LXP. So yours might be a slight upgrade in just the last 2 months.

The Linex people can pretty much coat anything but IMO you’d just be putting unnecessary weight on your top while spending unnecessary money. Again that’s just my opinion— maybe someone else who has an F1 can chime in.
