I have the Maxzina flares ~ the “reflectors’ are just tape and started to peel off after a few months.
Otherwise they’re pretty goo and easy to install
Female here ~ no issues but then I come from years of driving F150s…
Bought my Mav hybrid when I retired since a big gas guzzler was no longer needed.
Hang in and practice and I guarantee you’ll be maneuvering like a pro in no time! 😎
So sorry for your loss…
Check out Gator soft trifold - very affordable. It will buffer a little but as I mentioned in another thread I’ve had mine a few years now keeps my bed completely dry.
Mine does too a little but it’s very secure; not going anywhere.
I chalked it up to being a relatively low end cover.
Having said that mine is 3 years old and keeps the bed completely dry 👍
