Recommended Bonding Agent For Reattaching Vinyl To An Aluminum Base Tonneau Cover
Question:
Two years ago I replaced the soft, vinyl, roll up tonneau that came with my truck when I purchased it. It’s a 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali AWD 6.0l Vortec. I added the BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Aluminum and Vinyl Item # BAK39506 black I was surprised to notice that some of the vinyl had started to separate from the aluminum roll-up cover. I first saw this at the beginning of spring and now that we’re in the heart of winter it’s becoming something I can no longer ignore. It’s very noticeable and really looks awful! Please advise on my best bet reattaching the vinyl to the cover itself?

Expert Reply:
Since the vinyl is separating from the aluminum the bonding agent used by the manufacturer has failed. The only real way to repair your BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK39506 would be to re-cement the vinyl back to the aluminum. We don't currently carry the correct bonding agent, but the most popular option is HH-66 Vinyl Cement.
I would also call BAK and see if you can't get a warranty replacement since it comes with a 3-year warranty and you stated that you replaced it only 2 years ago.
