Peragon Retractable Tonneau Pickup Truck Bed Cover Reviews

Overall, the Peragon cover is what I hoped it would be. I chose the color black, and the look of my truck is certainly enhanced with this cover.The installation did me a little longer then most reviews I watched. I wanted to square up the frame to the truck bed as close to perfect as I could get. Once completed, the cover retracts almost 100% on its own and is easy to pull the strap to lock it back in place when using.
The only drawback I have experienced so far is with living in Southern California, there are more sunny days then cloudy, the cover gets extremely hot to the touch. I find myself having to wear a glove in order to push down the first panel to keep my hand from getting burned. I am wondering if there is any way to incorporate something on the "locking" panel to mitigate this? That being said, I am very happy with my Peragon truck bed cover.

I really like the cover with a few exceptions . It was simple to install, customer service was great, sales was helpful. The design for GMC Canyon specifically though requires drilling, which isn’t a big deal. The ramps IMO aren’t long enough. With where they land the set screw lines up on a slanted part of the truck bed, causing it not to be too strong. It will push in and out. Causing the rails to want to bow in and out. It will be something I have to keep an eye on for the life of the kid. Other than that the cover looks nice. I had to personally troubleshoot a few problems along the install. The Tailgate seal isn’t fully sealed. Went through the car wash and there was minimal water in the bed which shot through the tailgate.

Very happy overall with the product and gives me great piece of mind not worrying about personal items being stolen from the bed. The cover looks great, operates well, and I am very happy I chose Peragon over a Bakflip cover which I currently have on my 2013 Tacoma. The Bakflip has just not held up in the South Texas weather and was only available in black which makes it too hot to touch in the summer and bakes anything in the bed; the BakFlip is also a bit of a pain to remove when needed. The only issue I had was the installation, even after watching every video and following the directions step by step. I had great difficulty getting the cover to deploy and retract evenly and smoothly but customer service was phenomenal and was always available to help and guide me. I was shocked that a human being picked up the phone promptly and helped me with any issue I had. I highly recommend Peragon to anyone in the market for a truck bed cover!

Only gave it 4 stars because I had to return the cover. It leaked too much for my liking. If you’re looking for something that’s really water resistant, this isn’t the cover. But other than that, it looked good on the truck. The cover was well constructed and functioned really well. The folding and ability to remove it was awesome. I watched the videos and read the instructions which made installation a breeze. The customer service was excellent, even through the return process. I hate the cover wasn’t exactly what I wanted, but the company makes a quality product.

I have a Nissan 2019 Titan with the sliding rail system. The instruction included with the truck cover kit were not as complete as I had hoped. While the videos explained the installation process, it did not include my truck type. The instruction manual was complete even to suggestions of only opening one package of parts at a time but when it stated to " ... use a 1/4" bolt to make the connection..." it failed to state what length bolt which resulted in my installing and then removing the bolts to find the proper length. Why not number or color code the parts packages to be sure they are opened in the proper order.

Over all the installation went well and the end result is a fantastic truck bed cover. I have already told my son-in-law to order one and we will install it in June when we return to Wisconsin. Thanks for a great product!

So far, I really like this cover. It was a challenge to install, but the videos did help. I like that you can put it in and take it out if you need the space in your truck bed.

I think this unit is great. Was having a problem with the installation, but it was operator head space and timing. Insure you read the directions throughly and don’t skip and sections and it will be easy. Also I thought the installation videos they have were great. Love it.

Overall great looking cover. My problem with the cover is if I want to store items at the front of the bed the cover must be fully closed. I used several storage totes to move and the only way to fully use the space is to close the cover and then lay under it and pack to the front. Then again to get them out I had to lay under the closed cover and slide them out. I was hoping to return it but am now outside the 100 days. Also, the side rails stick inside the truck rails several inches. This narrows the top opening and if you ever want to open the cover and lean something against the side of the bed you risk damaging the cover slide. Just not what I was hoping for but a good looking, made in America product.

Installing video was a help! The only thing I don't like the cover when you are driving in at 70MPH road the cover shakes pretty hard. I looked at the rollers where only 1/8" from the outside of the frames. The cover rolls in/out great with not a problem. I don't know why the covers shake so much with driving.

Nice looking cover. Some frustrating redoing will happen. From seal placement too quick clamp adjustments for decent bearing movement. Get the Quick clamps or be pissed. Initial cover install may require taking an extra beer with you into the bed of the truck. Things can look backwards for a second. Tweak and tweak again until it makes sense on your truck. After a while it pans out and is more awesome than the other covers.

Can't complain about the price, quality of the product or support, all definitely excellent. Installation was relatively straightforward, about 4 hours for a first-time installer (me.)

But, buyers beware that the design does limit your ability to fully load the bed, or even have somewhat taller items (but those still fit under the closed cover like luggage, boxes, etc) stored up front near the cab. The forward 18" of the bed cannot be used to store anything over a few inches high if you want to be able open the cover, otherwise your crawling under it to pull the items forward so you can then open the cover.

The first trip we took with the cover installed with luggage and other items stored in the bed I quickly discovered that you cannot open the bed cover if anything over a few inches high is stored (or slides) up against the cab-end of the bed since that is where the panels go as the cover opens. Obvious when you think about it but this is not something I realized looking at the pics, videos, reviews, etc on the Peragon site. So, just be aware of this limitation if you decide to purchase this cover over some other styles that are out there.

The instructions could be better. I watched the installation video step by step. Some parts were not marked driver or pass like the video said. Still the installation went well. The quality of the components are great! It works just as advertised. I would have gave it 5 stars but the paint finish is not very good. There are two lines running front to rear approx 3 inches wide that the paint is shinier than the rest of the bed cover. I first thought it was just dust on the panels. But It almost appears to me that the panels have overspray on the except where these lines are. I have not contacted Paragon because it does not show up well in a photo but they are definitely there.I thought that I would try to use a car wax with a cleaner to see if it fixes it. I do not want to take this whole thing apart and be without a bed cover. I just thin someone should have inspected it before shipping it out to me.

Great item, however, the installation videos should be split up into those who use the clamps and those who use the brackets that requires drilling.

I’m loving the paragon cover. We did a spray in bed liner first before installing the cover. My husband did the install and the trickiest part was adjusting it with the washers and there wasn’t enough washers in the package. The price of the Peragon cover ($848 Platinum Pkg special) was awesome when compared to the Roll and Lock ($1850). The finish is beautiful and has a secure lock. It is not leak proof and will get a small amount of water in it when you wash your vehicle and dust will accumulate in the covered area if you drive frequently on a dirt road. It’s perfect for our family’s needs to store workout mats, weights, sports and hunting equipment, groceries, luggage, etc.

Not a DIY project if you have a long bed. Also, the price for that is closer to $1000. Recommend pro - install if you can afford it. There are six brackets, very hard to correctly align. Installing the "spacer" washers is a bloody nightmare. Not enough included in my kit. Had to buy more from a hardware store. My initial install was a little low so I ripped the trailing edge weather strip when I closed the tailgate. Be careful with this. No matter how careful you are, there is always variation in the bracket final positions, making alignment even harder. I spent about 5 hours on initial install, and another 2 hours later trying to re - align. Removal and installation of the cover is difficult. Since I have a long bed, it's MUCH heavier than expected. The rollers tend to snag on the ramps when removing and the little shock absorbers are extremely hard to reach. For long bed, do not remove the cover unless absolutely no other choice. The instructions are adequate but vague and the videos are several years out of date. Opening and closing is a bit harder also because of the long bed. Once the installation headaches are out of the way, I'm still glad I bought this cover. I wanted a rigid cover to stand up against wind and snow. Although the panels are light gauge aluminum, so you better not put anything heavy on top of it. Also, because it's exposed metal, it absorbs heat and becomes a branding iron when in the sun for a while. I almost burned myself a couple times already. It's a very good - looking cover. Much neater than others. Water resistance is about the same as other covers. I like that it can be locked with a key for added security. Sliding the cover open and closed is a bit harder due to the added length, but very convenient way to quickly get the cover out of the way when you need to.

The install was not to difficult, the seal in the front does not contact the front of my bed. It allows in some water but I can modify and fix the issue. The cover at 75/80 miles an hour is noisy and vibrates. It may need an adjustment, not sure as I just installed. I have only opened it once since the install, no issues. The color is great-black.

I like the bed cover. The customer service people were very good at assisting me in purchasing the right size cover. The website was very easy to use and was easy to order. My only complaint was the installation was not as easy as the video says or shows. I struggled to get the brackets on the bed to work so it would allow ease of cover movement. Some of the videos also showed a cover that wasn't mine, so there were some small differences.

This will be review number two for me. I originally left a three-star review over the amount of water that leaked into my bed. Customer service was prompt to provide assistance and found that the cover was defective and sent me a replacement. They were able to determine this from the pictures I provided. I couldn't even see what was wrong with the naked eye, but they could and priority shipped me a new unit. I installed it over the weekend and will see how it hold up against the rain. I would like to thank the support team for their assistance.

Just got the truck bed cover on and it looks amazing. I love the fact that when its rolled up, I have nearly full access to the bed of my truck. The ease of folding out and in is a definite plus. Installing was a bit of a challenge but certainly doable and the step by step videos on the Peragon website are a must. Very well done. I would add that you should mention the upgraded mounting hardware as it is not mentioned in the videos for those of that upgraded so as to not have to drill into our truck beds. Overall a great product. I have had other products and minus the strength in be able to stand on the truck bed cover, I think that I will be very happy with it. Thanks

Great Product for the money. Installation was fairly easy.The most difficult part is achieving proper levels on each corner.Once accomplished every thing works great.
