anyone have this? looks great. what are the drawbacks? doesnt look lockable, though? i love the fold though and the weatherproffing.


anyone?

 

My son just ordered one for my truck. I'll let you know how I like it when it gets here and he puts it on. I like the looks of it also.

 

My dad has one on his 08 Silverado LTZ, looks nice. It locks underneath with a nylon system and your tailgate lock. Removable or one two folded up. The only thing I don't really like is how it sticks up on top of the rails, but other than that, it removes quickly and back to stock. My Dad loves his, I am probably gonna get one eventually.

 

What is the price compared to the BakFlip?

 

the guy on ebay was selling them at around 689 but now 778 or so, but he said he would give me a deal, price unknown.

 

I had one on my 2500 and I loved it. It is a great top. Secure and weather proof with a locking tailgate. Would get one again in a heartbeat. You can stand on it and shoot birds. It can be off in 3 minutes. Great product.

 

One question I would have is if you fold back one flap can you fasten it down so it will not blow shut while you are driving down the road? I would not want it otherwise.

I like the hard covers better than the soft ones but it is just a shame that they cost pretty much twice as much as the roll up covers. I can understand them being more expensive but double? A little cheaper would be nice.

 

I finally got my Extang Solid Fold installed. Nice cover - but now I am having problems opening and shutting my tailgate. It appears that the tonneau covers over the tailgate and fits very tight making it just about impossible to open or close the tailgate. I would welcome any suggestions from those who have this cover on a 2009 Ram Crew Cab. The tonneau is flush with the front of the bed so I can't really move it forward to help clear the tailgate. I really do not know what to do at this point.

 

You may have to put some weatherstripping under the front and sides to raise it up. That should make the rear higher to close your tailgate.

 

Thanks Bubba......, that is one idea I will have to look into. Any more ideas out there?
