What's included in your seal kit
Premium EPDM Rubber Construction
We manufacture every MX4 seal replacement using extruded EPDM rubber, the same material spec’d in your original tonneau cover. This closed-cell synthetic rubber delivers superior resistance to UV radiation, ozone, temperature extremes from -40°F to 250°F, and automotive fluids.
Unlike generic foam weather stripping, our seals maintain compression set memory for years. The dense rubber profile creates consistent pressure against your bed rails and between panels, blocking wind-driven rain and road spray. Each seal segment features factory-matched dimensions so it fits the exact channel geometry on your MX4 panels.
Quick 30-Minute Installation Process
Remove Old Seals
Start by opening your MX4 cover completely and cleaning the seal channels with isopropyl alcohol. Peel away the old rubber seals from each panel edge and the bed rail clamps. Any residual adhesive wipes off easily with adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol.
Install New Panel Seals
Our kit includes pre-cut seal segments labeled for each panel position. Peel the red protective liner from the adhesive backing and press the seal firmly into the channel, starting at one end and working toward the other. The EPDM compresses slightly as you seat it, ensuring a watertight fit. Most customers complete this entire process in 30 minutes with no special tools required.
Universal MX4 Model Compatibility
This seal replacement kit works with every BakFlip MX4 tonneau cover we’ve manufactured since the model’s introduction. Whether you own a short bed (5’7″), standard bed (6’5″), or long bed (8′) configuration, the kit includes correctly sized seals for your specific application.
We designed the seal profile to match all MX4 generation updates, so even if your cover is several years old, these replacement seals integrate perfectly. The kit fits MX4 covers installed on Ford, Chevy/GMC, RAM, Toyota, and Nissan trucks.

Yes, the MX4 seal replacement kit is compatible with all bed lengths—short bed (5'7"), standard bed (6'5"), and long bed (8'). Each kit includes seal segments sized to fit every MX4 tonneau cover configuration we manufacture.
The seals are pre-cut to factory specifications, so they match your original equipment exactly. Whether your MX4 is installed on a Ford, Chevy, RAM, Toyota, or Nissan truck, this kit delivers a precise fit.
We recommend inspecting your seals every 24 months and replacing them every 3-5 years depending on exposure conditions. Trucks parked outdoors in high-UV climates may need replacement closer to the 3-year mark.
Common signs it's time for new seals include visible cracking in the rubber, water intrusion after rain or car washes, or gaps between the panels and bed rails when the cover is closed. Proactive seal replacement prevents more expensive panel or hinge damage down the road.
Our MX4 replacement seals are manufactured from extruded EPDM rubber, the same automotive-grade material used in your original tonneau cover. EPDM offers superior resistance to UV radiation, ozone, temperature extremes, and automotive fluids compared to generic foam weather stripping.
The closed-cell rubber construction maintains compression set memory for years, ensuring consistent weather protection. Each seal features industrial-grade 3M VHB adhesive backing for permanent bonding to your MX4's aluminum panels.
No, the MX4 seal replacement is completed with the cover installed on your truck. Simply open the cover fully to access the panel edges and bed rail clamps, then remove the old seals and install the new ones.
The only tool you'll need is isopropyl alcohol or adhesive remover to clean the channels before installation. The entire process happens in place, saving you the hassle of uninstalling and reinstalling your tonneau cover.
While generic weather stripping may seem like a cost-saving option, it won't deliver the same weather protection or longevity as our factory-matched EPDM seals. Generic foam products compress permanently and degrade quickly under UV exposure.
Our seal kit is precision-engineered to the exact profile and density required for the MX4's panel channels and bed rail interface. The adhesive backing, rubber compound, and dimensional specs all match your original equipment. For guaranteed fit and performance, we recommend using official BakFlip replacement components.
Yes, every MX4 seal replacement kit is backed by our 2-year material and workmanship warranty. If the seals fail due to manufacturing defects or premature degradation under normal use conditions, we'll replace the kit at no charge.
The warranty covers the seal materials and adhesive bonding but does not cover damage from improper installation, accidents, or modifications. Keep your order confirmation as proof of purchase for warranty claims.
