(More customer reviews)Purchase/Shipping:
I researched this product for several weeks both online and at local retailers. The online price was the best deal by as much as 50% less vs. what local stores wanted and they still had to order it for delivery to the store.
The standard shipping was reasonably quick and arrived in a large but easy to handle factory box. Use care if cutting open the box with a knife, as there is minimal padding to prevent cutting the cover.
Installation:
I installed it myself in about 45 minutes. The instructions were decent; reading them once or twice did the trick to understand the recommendations from the manufacturer. For my particular installation, factory under-the-rail bed liner with separate rail covers or rail caps, I simply needed to trim the bed rail covers flush with the edge of the bed. I accomplished this with a pencil to mark the position of the locking brackets and a strong utility knife to cut and score the plastic bed rails and snap off the excess with pliers. Once that was completed simply affix the included gaskets/seal around the bottom of the cover to create a seal and adjust the height of the locking brackets and your done.
Use:
The tri-fold design allows you to partially cover the bed, but your choices are a completely covered bed or 1/3 covered. There is not a way to secure the cover 2/3's of the way. In the 1/3 bed cover position the cover snaps on each side with tabs to secure it. The tabs, which are at the front or nearest the cab of the truck, stay visible all the time but after a few weeks you hardly notice them when not in use. This cover has a very study metal frame, the instruction limit the weight to approximately 200 lbs, and while I've never tested that limit, my 5 year old boy climbs on it all the time without me worrying of damaging it or him.
On the road:
Weatherproofing is pretty good. I've taken the truck through high-pressure automatic car washes and the bed stays dry. And with transporting cargo on rainy days on and off the highway I've had no problems with water getting in. The instructions do point out that it's not a waterproof installation, but I have no complaints.
At highway speeds there is some rising up of the cover in the middle to the rear, which is to be expected of the vinyl/material cover, but nothing too annoying or extreme.
Conclusion:
Over all I am pleased with the purchase and would recommend this product for permanent use. And with the ease of a one-man (or woman) fold up and removal for full use of your bed, it can't be beat.
