I'm thinking the Roll & Lock A Series. I would like to hear from those who have one or one like it. Yes it's pricy, but I want one with a secure locking system, and one that I could haul a refrigerator if I needed to without removing it.

This thread was really helpful to me in deciding which cover to get....and I wanted to post back once I got my Revolver X2 installed.   It is everything I hoped it would be....just perfect !   No

I had a soft tonneau cover on mine, came with the truck when I got it. I was a pain in the neck to take on and off. I got sick and tired of that and just picked up a really nice tool box instead. Much

Guys with the Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite, did you buy it from Fold-A-Cover direct?

 

I am not having much luck finding anybody selling it online. Locally it is either GM dealer or a local truck accessory dealer and They told they haven't sold one in years and are uncertain if they can still get them.

 

Also, anyone with this cover and an AMP Bedxtender have any fitment issues? Thinking about the bedxtender to help keep them ngs from going forward in the bed.

 

Thanks in advance for the assitance.

2015.5 2500hd Denali installed the backflip F1. 3rd truck with one. Awesome.

Is that the one you can open with a coat hanger? Also has the exposed rubber seals?

You can open any of the Bak folding covers with a coat hanger and they all have the rubber "hinges" and seals.

No, some of the other manufactures have their seals covered by aluminum. Possibly all the folding ones have exposed rubber. I've looked at so many I can't remember every detail. :eek:

I pointedly said Bak, your counterpoint was other manufacturers. ???

Agree that all of the BAK models can be opened by using a coat hanger, but the VP model does not have exposed hinges at all. The entire top is encased in a vinyl like skin...no hinges exposed...just to clarify.

Seems you may have missed the word "exposed" in my first post.

It looks to my eyes to be a really "finished" product, top to bottom, seals, hardware, etc.

 

BAK says it's their most water resistant folding tonneau, as well. Important to me, anyways.

There's something else to this thread that we really haven't addressed with regards to evaluating how "good" these various tonneau covers are, and that is the quality of the installation.

 

Not to put too fine a point on it, but installation can make or break the final product depending on the skill level of the installer and the level of difficulty of the installation. Also, how well the product interfaces with the various trucks in question.

 

When I install or work on anything, I research the hell out of the procedure before I pick up a tool. Many times I have brought into play modifications to a product or alterations to the install or assembly to improve the final product. But, most of the time just following instructions closely results in a satisfying end product. Others are sometimes not that careful. That can result in widely varying levels of product satisfaction.

 

Put a cover on wrong, and it will leak, rattle, be hard to remove, etc.

The cover being water proof / resistant is actually NOT terribly important. The leaks are because of short and ineffective seals, gaps, etc. The "cover" is just the part that folds up and isn't the source of the leaks everyone is having.

Yeah, I know that. I believe they were referring to it's ability to seal well, hence their claim that it's their "best" folding cover in that regard.

I had do think about that for a bit. My opinion is that the RollNLock A-Series is the best overall cover. It's expensive though.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
