    So on the back right-hand side this little piece broke off.

    Anyone have this happen? Is this a super-glue job or should I try to get
    a replacement set of these pieces. I contacted BakFlip waiting on response
    thought I'd check here with you folks too.

    I've got the exact same problem with my X4S. The plastic end trim pieces pop off all the time. It's a factory defect.

    I'm sure BakFlip will send you some replacement pieces.

    Same here, I called and they sent a whole kit to replace it. It then happened again, so now I am just living without it. I guess I was slamming the last part down too hard? I notice more water in the bed after a rain, but not considerably more.

    I got no idea have not got mine in the mail yet. Call 'em up they answered quick and were cool about it. Sending 2 sets they are so if I mess one up
    I'll have a second set to try again with.

    From what I can see on the X4S the end pieces have 2 tabs that are supposed to click into a groove and 1 prong shaped thingy that has a guide pin hole. For whatever reason, the 2 tabs keep finding a way to pop out causing the piece to fall off. You might be able to use adhesive/glue with the MX4, but that doesn't work with the roll up design of the X4S.

    edit: appears the end piece for the MX4 doesn't have those retention tabs? :confused:
