Anyone try this cheap tri-fold on ebay/Amazon?

[CurtisB]

I've got one, the "Tri Fold" had it for 3 months now with no issues. Fits well, keeps everting in the bed dry and out of sight. been through monsoon rains, heavy snow, and the car wash, no leaks drips or problems.

Does it "flap" when you drive? Especially at Highway speeds?

Anyone tried this cheap tri-fold? https://www.ebay.com/itm/285550883537

There are several sellers on eBay pimping what looks to be the same cover at various prices. I've always had Extang covers but would prefer to keep my cheap truck cheap. Just curious if anyone has experience with this model.

Edit, I purchased this cover. I'll post some photos/thoughts on it once I get it installed.

My problem is I need to add a rack and it seems anything that allows it (with T-slots) gets really expensive really quick I've been trying to figure out how to add T-slots to a roll up softcover but its hard to get accurate information on how it mounts to the bed to know if T-slot tracks can be added... On a different note I got the your truck has arrived at the dealership and is being prepped for you email so I hope the call is imminent and I can finally get my truck

Not much. All tonneau covers like this will " balloon " a little. Its drum tight.

An inexpensive cover is fine if you don't put anything valuable under it. I bought a RC hardtop trifold because the articles I often carry won't be worth much if they get too wet.

I have a similar cheap soft one. It's fine, somewhat tight. stuff has stayed dry enough through a car wash. it's good enough. it's great for the price.

Just bought one after seeing this thread. Should arrive just before a big road trip, I'll check back in afterwards.

I installed mine on my lunch break yesterday, took about 10 minutes. I was surprised at the quality of it, certainly expected some BS but went on easy, looks pretty good and I expect it will be good for my intentions.

Yep, as far I'm concerned it's perfect for the money. Could the latches be a bit better quality? Yup. Is it worth 2-$300 more for better latch handles? Nope. Some of these tonneau's have gotten stoopid expensive. I'm sure this exact tonneau is marketed under numerous different names/brands, glad I found, what I believe to be, the cheapest price on it
