I am 63 years old and installed the cover by myself. It took probably an hour, but i was IN no hurry. I did find the paper instructions somewhat confusing but located the installation video on the internet and it was easy. The cover is very well made, looks great and works great. I love it and so glad i bought it. William R Preston of Marshall, MI.

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!

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.

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.

I was very satisfied with the professionalism I received on the telephone, when I placed my order. I then called before installing the cover and spoke to your engineering department, regarding some questions I had on the installation of the cover, after reviewing your instruction sheets. Again, extremely helpful. I did however, find the installation instructions a bit confusing. Total install time was about 40 minutes. I have washed the truck twice since the cover has been installed and I have not yet seen any water in the bed. I would recommend this product to anyone.

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.

The cover was fairly easy to install by myself. Took about 1 1/2 hours after all the tweaking to get the cover the right tension. My only concern is when I release the front portion of the cover one side seems to stick so you have to walk around the truck and push the release on otherside. In the same vein when you close it I have to pull the cover release into the hold position or else it does not latch. Otherwise I really like this cover and the front hatch is really a great help when getting things out of the bed.

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.
