The Flex is the only cover UnderCover finishes in gloss black, and nothing else in its folding range carries that finish. Aluminum-skinned panels run on EPDM rubber hinges with EPDM perimeter seals and a dual-action tailgate seal, rated to 400 lb evenly distributed. It comes off without tools on the included quick-release hardware. Pick your truck below to see the part that fits it.
Features
Gloss Black, and Nothing Else In the Range Is UnderCover finishes every other cover it builds in matte. The Flex gets a corrosion-resistant gloss black textured finish instead, which is the reason to choose it over a sibling if you want the bed to read as a painted surface next to the cab rather than as a flat panel dropped on top of it.
Comes Off Without Tools Quick-release hardware is included and the cover lifts off in seconds, no tool required. UnderCover makes this claim for the Flex and does not make it for the Ultra Flex, the ArmorFlex or the Select. If you shift tall loads more than occasionally, it is the single most useful thing in this specification.
Rated to 400 lb, Spread Evenly Aluminum-skinned panels carry up to 400 lb distributed across the closed cover. That covers a winter's snow load, sheet goods lying flat or a rooftop bag on a long haul, provided the weight is spread rather than concentrated on one panel.
EPDM Hinges, Not Just EPDM Seals The Flex is the only cover in the folding range for which UnderCover names the hinge material. EPDM rubber joins the panels, EPDM seals run the perimeter, and a dual-action tailgate seal closes the back of the bed. Hinges are where a folding cover ages, so knowing what they are made of is worth something.
Drain Channels Built Into the Cover Integrated drain channels and tubes collect the water the seals turn away and route it down through the bed and out beneath the truck. A folding cover has panel seams by definition, so UnderCover designs the drainage on the assumption that water arrives rather than pretending it will not.
Two Thirds on the Straps, or the Whole Box Fold the panels forward and the integrated safety straps hold the stack at two thirds, which is the setting most owners use day to day. Push on and the built-in prop rods stand the cover flush against the rear window, opening the bed completely without anything to carry to the garage.
The Tailgate Is the Lock The release cables sit inside the bed, so the cover cannot be opened with the tailgate up. Close the cover, lock the tailgate, and the bed is shut. UnderCover publishes no lock on the cover itself, and we would rather say so than imply a cylinder that is not there.
Three-Year Limited Warranty UnderCover backs the Flex for three years from the date of purchase. Clean it with mild automotive soap and water, keep insect repellents, oils, solvents and lubricants away from the rubber, and re-check the clamps after the first week of driving, which the terms ask for anyway.

Pick your year, make, model and bed length in the vehicle selector to load the exact Flex part for your truck. Each application is listed as its own product, with its own installation sheet, hardware and price. Read the qualifier on the part you land on before ordering: UnderCover builds separate Flex parts for beds with factory bed rail caps, a factory rail or track system, a RamBox or a multifunction tailgate, and the part for one of those does not fit a plain bed.
Country of origin: Assembled in the USA, in Missouri
Installation
The Flex is a clamp-on install that UnderCover rates Level 1, at less than an hour. The side rails clamp to the inside of the bed rails with the supplied hardware and the cover sits on those rails, with nothing drilled into the truck to mount it on any application in the range. What decides whether the cover works is rail alignment: the rails are set square to the bed rails so the rear latch engages. Drainage is dealt with at the same time, and it is the step that genuinely changes from truck to truck. On some applications the drains route behind a bedliner or through existing bed plugs, on others a hole is made for them, and a few applications use no drain tubes at all. One application also calls for a permanent cut in the plastic bed cap. The tools list, the torque figure and the drain routing are printed on the vehicle-specific installation sheet in the carton and differ between applications, so pick your truck to see the sheet that governs it.
Warranty, Shipping & Returns
Warranty. UnderCover covers the Flex with a three (3) year limited warranty from the original date of purchase, to the first owner and not transferable. A handful of conditions in the terms account for most declined claims. The cover must be free of all foreign materials, including snow and ice, before you open it. It has to be secured at all points whenever the vehicle is moving, and it must come off the truck before the truck is towed from the rear. Check every clamp and retention mechanism for tightness about a week after installation and periodically after that. Clean with mild automotive soap and water only: insect repellents, oils, solvents and lubricants can damage the EPDM hinges and seals, and that damage is not covered. Free shipping. Every cover in this series ships free within the contiguous United States. Inspect on delivery. The Flex ships as an oversized parcel rather than on a pallet, in a long flat carton that absorbs the handling before the cover does. Look the packaging over while the driver is still there, and if anything is crushed, split or punctured, note it on the delivery paperwork and contact us the same day so we can sort a replacement.
About UnderCover
UnderCover is part of the RealTruck group of truck accessory brands and builds hard folding and one-piece bed covers for full-size and mid-size pickups. Its hard folding covers are assembled in the USA, in Missouri. The Flex is covered by a three year limited warranty on the cover, dated from the original purchase, and warranty registration and replacement parts are handled by the manufacturer.
Flex is the only cover UnderCover finishes in gloss black. Every one of its siblings is matte, so this is the one to pick if you want the bed to read as a painted surface rather than a textured one. It is rated to 400 lb evenly distributed and folds forward onto prop rods to sit flush against the cab, opening the bed completely. Sealing is EPDM throughout, with rubber hinges, perimeter seals, a dual-action tailgate seal, and integrated drain channels and tubes. Step up to Ultra Flex for the newer rail and clamp mechanism, slam latches on every panel and a five year term, or to ArmorFlex for the Multi-Shield coated matte face at the same five years. Select sits below it as the most straightforward cover in the range. The one-piece line is a different format again, raising a single rigid lid: matte black on Elite and SE, or unpainted or factory painted to an OEM paint code on Elite LX and LUX.
The Flex is the only cover UnderCover finishes in gloss black. Aluminum-skinned panels are joined by EPDM rubber hinges, the only hinge material UnderCover names anywhere in the folding range, with EPDM rubber perimeter seals and a dual-action tailgate seal closing it down. Integrated drain channels and tubes carry water out of the bed. It clamps to the side rails with nothing drilled into the truck to mount it, and it is rated to 400 lb evenly distributed.
Prestige Truck is an authorized UnderCover dealer. Every cover we ship is new, in the factory carton, and covered by UnderCover's warranty direct from the manufacturer.
The only gloss black cover
Every other cover UnderCover builds is matte. The Flex is the one finished in gloss black, a corrosion-resistant textured coat over aluminum-skinned panels, so the bed reads as a painted surface alongside the cab rather than as a flat black panel bolted to it. Textured rather than smooth is the point: it holds the gloss without turning the whole cover into a mirror for every scratch. What sits underneath is the same rigid aluminum tri-fold rated to 400 lb evenly distributed, with a three-year limited warranty behind it.
Rubber at every joint that matters
The Flex is the one cover in the folding range where UnderCover names the hinge material as well as the seal material. EPDM rubber hinges join the panels, EPDM seals close the perimeter, and a dual-action tailgate seal handles the joint at the back of the bed where covers usually leak first. Water that does get past all that lands in the cover's own integrated drain channels and is carried down through the bed rather than onto your cargo. It is a water-resistant cover rather than a sealed box, and the drainage is designed on that assumption.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
Will it keep my bed dry in heavy rain?
It keeps most of the weather out, and UnderCover does not call it waterproof. EPDM rubber seals close the perimeter, EPDM rubber hinges join the panels, a dual-action seal handles the tailgate, and integrated drain channels collect whatever gets past them and carry it down through the bed and out under the truck. In sustained heavy rain or under a pressure washer, expect some water at the bulkhead corners and along the seams between panels, because a folding cover has joints that a one-piece lid does not have. Where the drains exit the bed is specific to your truck and is drawn on the installation sheet in the carton. Treat this as a highly water-resistant cover and keep anything that genuinely must stay dry in a sealed container.
How hard is the install, and do I have to drill?
Nothing is drilled into the truck to mount the cover on any Flex application. UnderCover rates it a Level 1 install in under an hour: the side rails clamp to the inside of your bed rails with the hardware in the box, and the cover sits on those rails. The drill bit you will see on the tools list belongs to the drainage, not the cover. Depending on the truck, the drains route behind a bedliner, through the existing bed plugs, or through a hole you make for them, and a small number of applications have no drain tubes at all. One application, the Jeep Gladiator, also asks you to cut a marked section out of the plastic bed cap, which is permanent, so check the sheet for your truck before you start rather than after. Work from the vehicle-specific installation sheet in the carton rather than from a walkthrough shot on someone else's truck. A second pair of hands makes lifting the folded cover over the bed rail much easier.
How does it behave in snow and ice?
Clear it off before you open it. That is a warranty condition rather than a suggestion: UnderCover requires the cover to be free of all foreign materials including snow and ice before opening, and forcing frozen panels apart is how rubber hinges tear and seals pull away. Closed, the panels will carry a snow load inside the 400 lb evenly distributed rating. EPDM stays flexible in cold better than most rubbers, but any seal stiffens once it has sat out overnight, so a cover that has been frozen will feel tighter than it does in July and should be worked gently rather than forced. UnderCover publishes no operating temperature range for the Flex, so we are not going to quote one.
Will the latches hold, and what if my bed is not square?
Rail alignment is what decides this, not the latch. UnderCover's sheet is blunt about it on most applications: the side rails must sit square, at a 90 degree angle to the bed rails, or the rear latch will not engage properly. If the cover will not catch at the back, check the rails before you blame the latch. Every Flex installation sheet also carries a latch adjustment procedure, so work through that before concluding a part is faulty. UnderCover asks you to re-check every clamp and retention mechanism for tightness about a week after installation and periodically after that, because rails that were square on day one can shift as the clamps settle. One thing to be plain about: there is no lock on the cover itself and UnderCover publishes no lock type for the Flex. The release cables sit inside the bed, so the cover can only be opened with the tailgate down, and locking the tailgate is what secures the bed.
Will it clear my bed rails, bedliner, rail caps or cargo lights?
The part number decides most of this, so read the qualifier in this listing's title before anything else. UnderCover builds separate Flex parts for beds with factory bed rail caps, the Nissan Utili-Track, the Toyota Deck Rail System, the Ram RamBox with silver cargo rails, and the Ram Multifunction Tailgate, and the part for one of those will not fit a plain bed. Beyond that, the side rails clamp to the inside of your bed rails, so a drop-in liner with a lip folded over the rail, aftermarket rail caps, or anything bolted along the inner bed rail can sit where a clamp needs to go. Drain routing passes behind or through a liner. No UnderCover cover fits a CarbonPro bed. UnderCover publishes no clearance dimension for the Flex, so if you run bed-rail accessories or cargo lights, measure what sits inside your bed rails before you order.
How much does it weigh, and can I take it off on my own?
Depending on the application the Flex ships at roughly 70 lb to 100 lb, with the long-bed parts at the top of that range. That figure is the packaged shipping weight, because UnderCover publishes no weight for the cover on its own, so the cover is lighter than the number you see quoted. Taking it off is the Flex's own party trick and the one thing it does that no other UnderCover folding cover claims: the quick-release hardware releases without tools, so the cover comes off in seconds. One person can manage a folded cover off a short bed, though the awkward part is the lift over the bed rail rather than the weight itself, and two people make it a much shorter job on any bed. The side rails stay clamped to the truck, so taking the cover off for a tall load is nothing like a full uninstall.
