I bought this cover due to the reviews and price. I was a little worried as i had seen reviews that people had problems with leaks or the latching not holding the cover correctly. We the product arrived i opened it the same day and finished the install in about 20 mins with minimal tools.
Pros: the cover seems to be made of a good quality material.
It seals out MOST things. I went through thunder storms and a carwash and the bed stayed dry. Dust however will find its way inside.
The latching works well just be sure to follow the instructions and line the rails up correctly or they wont work as expected.
This does not require drilling or cutting your truck.
Cons:
The rubber material that seals the outer edges appears to not like the hot temperatures or sunlight of Texas in the summer. The glue holding them down started to peel away slightly which was fixed using a stronger adhesive.
Note for install:
Leave the clamps holding everything down slightly loose to make final minor adjustments when you unfold the cover to line it up. Then lay on your back, slide into the bed and tighten them while the cover is still unfolded. Once tightened you should be fine to move it about. This will help make a better seal to keep water out and ensure the latches hold true. I would assume this is where many customers have issues.
Overall great product, great price, and no regrets. Get it.
