I installed the Bakflip F1 a week ago and just now noticed on the corners of the truck bed rails, a small indentation or dent/bump. I dont know if they were there before the install or if they happened after I put the Bakflip brackets on the rails....... If you have a Bakflip, go check the top corners of your bed rails to see if you have any dimpling or bump and let me know.

Is one of your clamps installed right under in that location? Not a problem on mine (going from memory). Did you Conan the socket?

The clamps are close to the area but they dont touch the top....... Im wondering if by tightening the clamp, it pulled something and caused the dimple.
You can barely see the bump on the pic, but it is there.:emotions122:

I have the dimple too. I never looked into it to deeply but I have an F1. it's been on there and like that for almost a year now so I'm not to worried.

Im sure its just a cosmetic thing and not something that will affect the truck.... but I wasnt sure if I had them before I put on the F1.

I have the bumps too. I noticed mine after I had my Line X done. I assumed they popped the bedrail caps loose and didn't snap them back down correctly. My clamps aren't where the bumps are located.

I have the same bumps or whatever... I think that I had mine before the F1.
