Installed a Bak Roll-X cover Monday night. I didn't want another tilting hard fiberglass cover like I had on my last two trucks becuase it really limits what you can carry in the bed unless you completely remove it, which requires multiple people. So i wanted something that was low profile, and could roll up, but still be solid so it was secure. Really liking it so far, except the rubber along the edges is not laying completely flat. Hoping that will work itself out over time.

^nice, I have a Roll-X too. The sun will heat up the side seals and they should lay flat then. Or you can use a hairdryer on them.

That looks great. I just ordered an undercover flex. If I don't like it, I'm sending it back for the roll x.

I've got the Roll-X too and am completely satisfied with it. It's a hundred times better than the old style canvas styles and IMO, the fiberglass covers - and don't worry, the edges settle down nice and flat after a week or so, sooner if it gets really hot outside.

Still, that Retrax looks better yet IMO - I probably would have gotten that one but I didn't know about it at the time.

Thanks for the reassurances that the edges will lay flat eventually. It is nice and sunny today, and it is already much better than right after I installed it. I also washed my truck today, and only a little bit of water got in the bed around the tail gate, and most of that is probably from the tailgate vertical gaps.

Had the same with my BakFlip VP. Edges now lay flat. For the water leaks, they make tailgate sealer moulding kits that help with that

I have been looking at folding covers and have narrowed it down to the Fold-a-Cover G4 Elite. I am a bit concerned that any online retailers (other then the factory store) that I've found that carry the G4, are showing it as "out of stock/no longer available for ordering". Is this a supply/demand issue or is FAC in "trouble"?

A "local" FAC dealer said the stopped carrying the product due to the number of problems they had. Anyone have any insight?

I just got an email from my dealership with a 10% off accessories coupon, so I wonder, do I g ahead and get the GM soft or hard folding cover, or go for a bak roll x? Hmmm

No problems here or that I've heard. The GM installed folding cover from factory is also the Fold-a-Cover model. Could likely be a supply issue at this time.

Well, the problem is that many online suppliers don't really keep an inventory, some do though, buy many don't. In addition, the wholesale suppliers no longer stock Fold-A-Covers, that's another story. So, I would recommend you get on the phone and call your local accessory shops and ask if they can order a Fold-A-Cover. If the shop has an account with Steffens Enterprises (who owns FoldACover), then they can order a cover for you direct from Steffens.

You might also consider an Extang Encore.
