Default Pace Edwards tonneau cover?

Has anyone installed a Pace edwards full metal jack rabbit tonneau cover on your truck? If so have you been satisfied with it? www.pace-edwards.com/full-metal-jackrabbit

Hey DirtyDog,
I spoke with him & he said it does make quite a bit of noise over 60 mph. Hope this helps.

OK. Thank you for asking and reporting back. I guess that is the nature of this style because apparently they all make noise. When I say all, the aluminum style and multi-link ones. Most aren't aware that a cover can make noise until they've dropped the money and installed. Like myself..lol
I will say that I installed a Peragon tonneau cover and while it had some noise to it, it wasn't until I was doing 70+ where it was becoming noisy.
Only plastic type tonneau covers seems to be quiet. Such as the bakflip HD.

Don't get me wrong, I really liked the conealed design and it was worth the added noise on the highway. BTW. The noise is creaking and panel fluttering. If thats something you can live with then def go for it.

Snugtop has nice looking truck caps also. My buddy has their SnugLid tonneau and it looks good.
