BakFlip help/question

Can someone please provide pics of how and where they did the drain tubes for their BakFlip cover?? I receive my BakFlip G2 this coming Wednesday and want to install it immediately but I was wondering where the drainage goes. My bed has been line-x'd including the two oval looking 'caps' at the front of the bed and didnt know if this would cause a problem or not. Also how I would go about getting through the line-x if possible to do the drain tubes.

Any advice and pictures would be greatly appreciated....the more the merrier.


Thanks in advance...

i pulled out my plastic caps off and used a dremel tool to make the holes barely big enough to get the tubes through and then re installed them. took about 5 minutes. i would post pixs but im not at home.

see if you can get a dremel tool or a drill in there. you have nothing behind that panel for about 5-6 inches so you wont hit your cab.

I used a drill bit that was the same size as the tubes. Not sure what size it was though. I'll take some photos in a bit and post them.
