Love this cover! The flip up front and roll up option is ideal. I can't imagine having any other type of tonneau cover! The only thing that I've noticed and it's not really a big deal but regardless, the velcro seems to overlap quite a bit on the track. Not sure if I have the frame pushed in all the way or if the cover itself is just a tad too big. It's still fastens down nicely, but only half the velcro is fastened to either side. Other than that, I'm super happy with it!

I really like the product so far. While it took a little more time with the installation than I had expected, it was not a difficult process. I have not yet drven in the rain so I can't speak fully to how "water tight" the cover will be. However, it meets and exceeds my expecations otherwise.

We needed a cover before a trip. I do have to say the pictures provided were a smidge confusing--I did get it figured out up to the part of putting the vinyl on. It was hard to find a video for my style of truck, most the videos showed the rails flat not angled like they ended up being on mine. I did eventually find a video for my truck and we had it right all along. We did not have any troubles with anyone messing with the cover while we were in the city so it has worked out really well.

Installed the Deuce-2 cover in a little over one hour. My 2016 Colorado has factory plastic caps over the box sides so the back aluminum structural piece that sits over the tail gate inside the rear sleeve of the cover was a little bit too wide. It was easy to remove and shorten by about 1/8 inch, which made it close correctly. I also had the vendor send me a set of clamps that fit in the back stake pockets so that they were farther back than the smaller clamps that came with the unit and need to sit farther forward. This was minor extra work but the fit was a bit better after these two improvements. I love the cover and drove from western Oregon to Arizona this past February. The cover sealed well, letting in a little dust as we drove off road in the desert as would be expected. I plan to put a little weather stripping on the sides of the tail gate where the dust came in. Having the ability to open the front to remove luggage or get in the cooler is great. Very easy to use and the need to unlatch the back in order to close the tailgate is no problem. Highly recommend this design and make. Make sure and loosen the side tension adjusters when you first install the cover and tighten a later in warm weather to get a nice taut fabric.

Ever wished you could to get in the front of your bed without rolling up the whole cover, or un-installing the hard cover? Well boys and girls, here's your answer to that wish. Following the written instructions, and the youtube videos makes this a seamless install on your truck. Takes about an hour and 2 people to install it.

Besides scratching the box of my new truck trying to install the side rails, overall I think this cover is what I wanted. Only reason for 4 stars is I think the seals will be an issue, and right now the front and back seals don't touch. Will be adding extra material to make it work.

Fairly easy to install once you figure out the secret to installing the rail clamps, instructions could be better. Front opening panel is very convenient but somewhat heavy. Annoyed that unlike my previous Truxedo cover, I can't close this one with the tailgate down. The rain seal gets pushed in front of the tailgate, rendering it much less effective. This means every time you open the tailgate you have to unlatch the rear of the cover, then re-latch it after closing the tailgate. A minor problem but still annoying.

Installation wasn't terrible but as the others have said, terrible instructions. Quality is OK as well. The front does not open nearly as easy as you'd think. On mine in particular, it is near impossible to open from the driver's side. I've greased the bars, handles, still nothing great. There isn't ever going to be perfect tension either. The wind still looks like it wants to rip it off no matter how many times you can adjust it. The weather stripping doesn't stay on even after thoroughly cleaning the sticking points either which I plan to take advantage of the warranty for. Water does get in going through car washes which is expected and no problem. I've had this about 2 months. I'd buy again but not with the expectations I had on it last time. It does look great, easy to roll up from the back, very sturdy feeling, and latches very well.
