I originally purchased this cover to replace a back flip. I did not like how the back flip cover my rear window and I help a friend install one of these covers a few years ago and like the design of it going down into the bed. It’s been close to a year since I’ve installed this on my truck. I use my truck bed a lot, for all sorts of different things and this cover, for my use is awful. Don’t get me wrong, the design, function, and looks of this cover are great, just not for me. First issue is pulling my RV. I have a gooseneck box on mine, as I have a trailer rental company with gooseneck trailers. I can’t make a 90° turn without it contacting the side rails, my side rails are all beat up now, but the cover still functions great, just looks bad in those areas. I haul a lot of items in my bed, if I have the cover closed and anything slides up to the front of the bed, well.. you can’t open the cover as the object blocks it, so you’ll be crawling into your bed to retrace the item, not so fun when it’s 80°+ mid day or really ever. My last complaint is the pull strap, when the cover is open no matter what always seems to somehow get in the space between the bed and cab of the truck and wrapped around something. I am pretty handy and do a lot of work on my own stuff, installing this cover was an absolute nightmare and had me wanting to burn my truck to the ground at times, I don’t know why it was so difficult to get aligned properly. I did have an initial issue with my order, which props to their customer service was hands down great. If I didn’t use my truck bed as much as I do, or tow an RV at all, I would recommend this cover to anyone, but with how much I use my bed, I would not suggest it to others that use theirs like I do. Only reason this cover is still on is because of the damage from the RV goose box (making it junk to sell to anyone else) and the cost of it. Depending on how many times I have to crawl into the bed to move an object so I can open the cover this summer, I may rip it off before summers end. For my application and use, I give this a 5/10. If I never used the bed, 9/10 only because install was a pain.
