Yes they did.

Sorry for the delay in posting pics of my Diamondback SE cover and for the dirty truck! We have had both rain and snow in the past couple of weeks (gotta love Indiana) and the bed was dry after both. However, i did notice water getting in after a car wash but it was a small amount and I do plan on installing tailgate seal at some point. I am convinced that the water protection on this cover is very good. One downside for areas that are exposed to cold weather. It rained a few days ago and then turned cold. The cover froze to the bed and was difficult to open. I still would buy this cover again but it was kind of a pain. I also confirmed with my wife that she paid $1,420/including tax for the cover. If you live in a state with no tax on online orders you should be able to get it for around $1,340 by calling in the order instead of purchasing online. Overall I am very satisfied with the cover. I was looking for a unique cover that would make my Chevy stand out in a large sea of Chevy trucks that would also protect any items (mostly golf clubs) that I store in the back. I made the decision early that I didn't mind spending some money on a premium cover. I didn't want to put an inexpensive product on my $40,000 truck. It basically came down to this cover and the Retrax Pro. My research which included this very extensive post, many other like it, and a few local dealers led me to the Diamondback. My concerns over the Retrax Pro'shop waterproofing, road noise, and higher price eventually lead me to my decision. Although I do believe the Retrax Pro would have been nice as well. I did realize one thing in my two months of research: There is no perfect cover.

Installed my Diamondback se on my 2016 Silverado last week. I went with the Diamondback because it is a completely different look than anything else on the market. I live in northern Indiana somewhat close to a large GM truck assembly plant. I see tons of GM trucks every day and have yet to see another Diamondback cover. I like the fact that it makes my truck stand out. Several random people have stopped me and asked about the cover in the last week. The cover came very nicely packed and in perfect condition. I basically installed it by myself in two hours. I would ask for help if I did it again. Two people would be much easier. Even by myself it was relatively easy but a little cumbersome when it comes to getting it tightened down correctly. The look is even better than I anticipated. I really like the Linex black coating. It really makes the cover pop and really makes you feel like the cover will outlast the truck. The only little issue I have is the alignment of the cover. The middle piece is a little wider than the outter pieces. You don't really notice it from afar but if you are looking closely you can see it. If you are a perfectionist this could definitely bother you. I installed the cover with a block of ice in the back and it just melted so I can't really speak of the water proofing qualities at this point. I also have not yet installed the tailgate seal. I would think it would seal pretty well as it is a very basic design. Large rubber seals all the way around and 4 pieces of seal on the middle bracket. I think the key to any of these covers is to seal the tailgate. The tailgate on most of these GM trucks have gaps and you will always have issues with water unless you seal it up. Especially if you frequently use spray car washes. I plan on getting some pictures and an update on the waterproofing soon.

I think auto custom. Or direct from Diamondback , my wife made the purchase after I did the research. It was my early Christmas present. She said it was around $1,400 including tax for the black Linex cover.

Just received my diamondback se cover. Will hope to install in next week or so. Will review and post pictures when I'm done.

Anyone have the Leer Trilogy X2t yet?
