New bed cover - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

fdbdw · 11-29-2018, 09:57 PM

I chose the extang revolution bed cover because I wanted low profile roll up tonneau cover that did not require any drilling. Although the cover looks decent I am disappointed with the product overall. $500 delivered, damage and scratches to one of the rails don’t know if it was production, packaging or shipping. Oh well it’s hidden when the top is down. One of the clamp’s threads were not drilled right, I made it work. Fit and installation was a pain, broke it down and re-installed 3 times to get it square and tight. I have installed 6 tonneau covers on previous vehicles, different brands over the years and have never had an issue. I’m going to let it settle for a few days and adjust. Again, I like the look but for $500 I did not expect so many issues.

Still looks nice on the truck! Does it seal well? Love the paint color, which blue is that?

It doesn’t seal well at all, I’m gonna let it settle for a few weeks then break it down and reassemble. I appreciate the compliment, it’s a Nassau blue
