anyone else have issue with soft/hard tri-fold GMC cover leaking. Mine seems to leek at the tailgate. I've had it readjusted and the dealer has no answer.

 

Currently have the tri-fold hard cover vinyl.

 

Thanks.

I recently bought a used GM Tri-fold soft/hard cover. I've run the truck through two car washes and have had no leaks so far. The person I bought it off of was changing it out for a quad fold that he could open front and read of the bed. Really pleased with this top.

I'm guessing from what I seen in a pic, its a little too short & needs to be cheated to the back a little to get a good seal on the tailgate.

Looked like the rear stake pockets was not totally covered...so its too short!

That's exactly what I said to the dealer.

 

The end doesn't quite flap over the tailgate. I will just adjust on my own. Wasn't sure if it was a defect and needed replacement under warranty.

I like mine (Retrax Pro) and search around/contemplated many include fiberglass covers. Elected to go with the Pro and purchased it direct from Retrax, managing to negotiate it down to wholesale cost. Took about to hours to install. Easy, Efficient, works great.

Rewillia, the Retrax Pro is going on my 2015 Silverado when it comes in September. They are pricy but the best on the market. I had one on my 2003 Silverado for years before I ruined it hauling sand that got into the ball bearings. I still have the 03 Z71 that will haul things. The new brownstone LTZ CC Z71 will NEVER see building materials. F-5

Got my truxedo titanium installed and I love it, took about 45 minutes to install it and get everything straight.post-144366-0-77720400-1437844943_thumb.jpg

Put on a Leer 700 tonneau cover and a bed rug.

Anybody have the measurements for the Chevy tri-folds?

length & width?

Can someone with the Chevy soft tri-fold please measure the width & length please!

Thanks!

Mine covers the stake holes and I have to lift it up slightly to gee the tail gate to close. It sounds like you have a cover for a shorter bed. I can get you pictures and measurements this evening.

I currently have an Extang Trifecta on my 2015 All Terrain. I like the fact that it's easy to install and uninstall. I DO NOT like how it bows in at the front hinge. When I got the cover I sent Extang an email about the hinge pads not being installed properly. They were sitting on top of the weatherstripping creating a bulge in the cover. Waited a few days and never heard anything so I called. The guy goes through his emails and found it. I had attached photos of the pads and of how it bowed at the front hinge. He said that it was normal. He did send new pads for the the hinges. It looks almost like the cover is too tight at the front hinges. Not at all happy with it but I'm outside my 30 days with Autoanything and Extang doesn't act like it's a problem.

 

I had another brand tri-fold on my 2011 Silverado and it wasn't this way and cost half as much. I just didn't like the way the rear latches were They were bad about scratching the bed rail covers up.

I am still happy with my TonnoPro Hard fold. Not the best looking cover but, it keeps my bed dry.

Hello all, new guy here to the forum;

Am about to make the investment here. Just undecided. I had a Fold - A - Cover on my '03. Hurricane Katrina stole it from me. I had no other issues with it. I then installed a Roll -N- Lock M series, absolutey loved it. I looked through this entire thread and could not find any good pictures of how the Fold-A-Cover sits over the "grab handle pockets" on the rear of the bed. I also dont want to cover up the Chevrolet logo on the bed caps. I am also interested in the Retrax but it looks like the grab handle pockets are covered by some models and not others. If anybody has any good pics of the grab handle pockets and the Chevrolet logos that arent covered by their tonneau's please post. Keep in mind I am looking for a hard roll up (can type) or folding but not the Bak Flip type that stands up against the back window, thanks in advance.

The Retrax covers can be ordered with the stake pockets cut out of the rails. It's the only cover brand on the market that I know that will do that.

 

The Undercover Flex is similar to the Bakflips, but it stands vertically instead of leaning against the cab.

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
