$239 Tyger Auto T3 Soft Tri-fold Tonneau Cover???

[Air Shootist]

I've had this cover in my cart for a while:

For only 239 galactic credits this seems pretty legit!
Also it has a 4.7 star rating on Amazon with 116 reviews - still - I'd rather ask you guys on the forum what you think of this one. It honestly looks perfect for my needs and the price is almost unbelievably low for what you get.

Thoughts?

I had a Tyger soft folding cover on my F-150 and it was OK performance wise. Value wise 5*****

Got one on my living room floor just now getting a coat of protection on top and seals. Will go on the truck when the sun comes up
The included bulkhead gasket seemed too thick for the Maverick so used a softer D bulb seal strip I had on hand. I also added a short bead of black silicone to the two notches in the bed top rail to cure overnight.

The vinyl is a smoother texture than previous bed covers and should be easier to keep clean. The cover uses a similar D bulb seal on three sides and a double wipe seal at the tailgate.

my only complaint is the two straps used to secure the top when open aren't secured in place to the front cross rail.

This is great! I was hoping someone like you would comment on this, someone with the DIY experience to improve things that may already be pretty good! I'm a big fan of that!

Got any pics of your mods?

I found this D Bulb seal with adhesive already there that looks pretty good: https://amzn.to/40bgWY8

Also could I use this sealant? Is this similar to what you're using?

And what about the coating? I found this which has good reviews. This what you're using?

I have one of these on my ranger. I got it on sale at Walmart for 150 bucks. The quality is definitely better than most cheap things, the installation was a bit more of a pain in the ass than I was expecting.

I'll snap a few today

D bulb, I had 3/4" wide

Sealant I had some JB Weld silicone

Coating, anything with UV protection, again used what I had on hand, Aero Cosmetics for rubber and plastic. Love it on all my tires, use it inside and out, rubber/plastic. Meets Boeing Aircraft Specs for tires.

I've had my $170 TipTop soft-fold for many months and have no complaints.

Only differences I can see between the TipTop and the Tyger (other than $70 price difference) are that the Tyger has a logo and some kind of warranty.

I have commented on other threads that I have this cover and so far so good.

I used the supplied gasket and it works fine. Put a dab of caulking in the grove of the plastic on the sides and have very little leaking. The cover fits great.

I can not say how it will last but same can be said for my Maverick!

I've had one on my Mav since June, and am quite pleased with it. Instructions were good and installation was not difficult. I was extra-careful cutting and placing the seal across the front of the bed and have noticed no leaks (so far).

I bought one as well. Very pleased with it considering it is not very expensive. Shipping was included.

i bought one and installed it today. I need to readjust it tomorrow because I know its not even, but maybe someone can help me here. is the end of the tonneau supposed to be as close to the back glass as possible? Also if driving air pushes the top from the insude (so it bubbles slightly) is that normal or is an adjustment needed? Thanks!

I have mine almost touching the plastic vertical trim that is next to the ends of the rear window glass. So it is about 3/8" away from the glass.

I used the provided weather strip across the front. I do get some flapping from wind when driving but no noise. This is normal for a soft cover.

Mine has very little water leaking (almost none). I am very happy with this cover so far.

Thanks! I did add the weather stripping up there last night as I think that was the only place I saw light coming from. I will test it today. It got too dark last night! :shakes fist at winter months:
