I bought my first one in 2014 also. It's not available on the G4 Elite but I think it's pre-installed on their other cover (LS?) because it also fits earlier models (that didn't have locking tailgates).

As for the seal, they seem to say you have to flip it out like you have been doing .... I'll get my hose and see if there is a difference lol :P

Finally replaced my switchblade retractable cover with an Undercover Elite LX. Very nice cover that's 100% waterproof and removes easily when needed. I rarely carry items that won't transport with the cover closed. After having our luggage get wet while traveling on long trips this cover was perfect.

I had this Paragon cover on my '12. Simply ordered longer brackets for the front, and fit like a glove. Only $699 shipped and made is USA.

I love it. It's lockable and can be ordered with dual locks one for each side. I can lock the cover and the tailgate. It folds up easily and can be removed quickly. It is not water proof. Water seeps in the rails. I put stuff in the middle of the bed to avoid direct water. The ribs in the bed help stuff from sitting in water.

I went with the GM Accessory (soft roll-up w/embossed bowtie - #22772362 - $575). It's going to sit in the box until it gets a little warmer here. <30 degrees and I hate working on stuff when it's cold out. Will post pics when it's done.

 

They did me a solid by only charging me tax on the difference from my voucher and the price of the cover. So only $80ish out of pocket vs $120

yeah i've got to have a water proof one, i really liked the paragon because it can be easily removed but if it doesnt keep 95% of water out its a non starter

My TonnoPro is pretty much 100% water proof for what it's worth.

Really, that sucks. I have the hard fold which one do you have? I've only had mine for about 8 months I guess.

Nice 50 degree day, so I took advantage. Washed the truck and put on the tonneau. Wish it was a bit warmer, would have been able to stretch it more to remove the wrinkles. Clamps were different, no bolts. Took about 30 minutes, one adjustment. So far so good with GMs version.

Curious how you like this as well? I am also looking at the roll-x. I am curious if the extra 200$ on this one is worth it.

I love it. I paid 750 shipped no tax. I had a hard time finding pictures and stuff when I bought mine so thought these might help. Everyone who sees it says it's the best looking cover they've ever seen. I am more Than happy with paying 750.

    • My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.
    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions. 
    • I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that. 
    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
