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

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.

    • Two days ago went from 2.99 to 3.39   Yesterday down to 3.19   This morning 2.99   What the...........
    • Jumped up 15 cents yesterday. $4.15
    • I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !. 
    • Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.
    • Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!
