Any Feedback!!!!

Looking for any comments, experiences, reviews of the Roll Bak Retracting Tonneau Cover. Also if anyone has installation hints or suggestions.

Are you talking about the Pace Edwards model? I have a roll back tonneau cover, called the Jackrabbit. Also had the original model on my old truck. For installation, I can definitely help ya there.

 

As for comments, etc: Next time I buy a truck, I most likely will NOT buy another retractable cover. I think the quality in the workmanship is way down for one.

Also, I get lots of water in my bed which I'm not thrilled about. Third, the design of the Jackrabbit is lacking IMO - seems very flimsy and almost delicate.

When I bought the original model they make, I was very impressed, the thing was just great - dry bed, solid construction, but a PITA to install, especially by yourself. Now the Jackrabbit is easy to install - anyone who works on a vehicle can do it.

However, since I'm obviously stuck with it (not paying more to replace it) - I decided to go buy the tool top box so I can get my tools to dry ground. That should be fun to install.

No, the Roll Bak is mfg. by a different company than Pace-Edwards. Already have heard a few bad reports on them. The Roll Bak is a newer company, I think. Their cover is more pricey than the Pace-Edwards, but apparently better quality. (www.backliner.com) My problem is I can't use a soft cover (my wife won't put anything back there unless I assure her it's as secure as Fort Knox). Don't want a solid cover as the majority of time I will need the bed open for hauling. Retractables seem to fit the bill, if I can find one that's of good quality and won't leak.
