I had a quad-fold Fold-a-cover G4-Elite on my old Tundra. It was OK but definitely not water tight. For my 2016 GMC 2500HD, I also wanted a hard cover. Looked at the Retrax which they sold at the dealership, but ended up going with BAK Revolver rolling type. I liked it better because it didn't take up as much space in the bed - rolls on top - and because it lays flat on the bed walls which avoids those rails for installation which makes for a cleaner look and simpler with less stuff to break. I've had mine on for 6 years and am a fan, would buy again. Very seldom have seen any water intrusion. Newer version which has a different finish and rubberized grab sections instead of the felt on the older model. https://realtruck.com/p/bak-revolver-x4s-tonneau-cover/bak-80524

I've searched past threads (linked below) to see what other owners have done when changing out the OEM blades, but didn't find anything recent so thought I'd start a thread to ask.... Don't drive my truck all that much (primarily and infrequently used to tow enclosed trailer) so the OEM blades have been fine unchanged since purchase in 2016. Last time out, it rained and they started really chattering. While I know I can polish the windshield for some improvement, the blades are likely due anyway after four years. I've had good luck on other vehicles with Bosch and higher end Trico blades. Very little snow here in NC, mainly rain when I use them. Anybody got more recent experience on blades specific to our truck? Searched threads ------------------------------ no-HD blade thread wiper chatter

Mine squeals constantly, not just at startup and does it when it's bone dry mid-day (not wet) after driving for 30 mins+ as well. Sounds like it comes primarily from the passenger side front brake. I mentioned at my first (1k) oil change and service rep told me it was normal for ceramic pads or something similar and that it would go away - it was a Saturday and the guy had a huge line so I didn't push. It's loud and annoying and have planned to make a couple of videos to take with me at my next service in case they tell me they can't reproduce it. I'm currently about 3,300 miles.
