Peragon. I found my answer on the website. I would have to remove my factory utility track.

 

I'm not sure what I was thinking. I should have known that. There goes my credibility

 

I got a leather tonneau cover. Snap on. Gives it a nice look.

 

JUst courious, do any of you guys running the bakflip tonneau covers still have there factory cargo track?

 

Mine didn't have the cargo track

 

The roll'n'locks are pretty good covers if retractable is what you're looking for. My dad owns an electrical contracting company and they have those on a few of the trucks. They'll support a surprising amount of weight and hold up fairly well to abuse.

They do have a few potential pitfalls though. With a lot of slushy snow or freezing rain I've seen them freeze shut a few times requiring that the truck be left in a heated shop bay for a few hours before we could get it open. The alignment of the tracks and the cover has to be spot on and may require adjustment after some time, some lubrication is necessary over time as well. The models with the vinyl covering over the aluminum slats will need some regular care as well or the vinyl dries out and starts cracking and peeling (happening on one of the trucks). Also if you damage the bar that mounts on the tailgate (which sticks up when the tailgate is open) the cover will not latch properly.

They are pretty solid overall though, considering the abuse they go through day in and day out they've worked out pretty well for my dad. Biggest disadvantages I see over a folding cover is the weight and the space lost at the front of the bed, those retractable solid covers are heavy.

 

Just want to say thank you to everybody that has left some input... the information has been very helpful.

Im now trying to make my final decision, Its either A bakflip or the pargon.

Peragon.......are there any truck accessories shops in the Il suburbs that might have a display of your tonneau. I would like to get a closer look at it .

 

No, I'm sorry we don't. We ship direct only and we don't have any dealers at this time. On occasion we are aware of someone who has installed our cover, but there isn't anyone in your area that has done it. The best we can offer are the objective reviews provided by other forum members. I will PM you with a few other links that might help.
