Tonnopro hard flip tonneau installed

[Johndl58]

Purchased this from Alex at realtruck for my '23 xl hybrid. Came in like 3 days. Installed in about 15 minutes. Quality seems pretty good. One thing I'm a little questionable about is the size. Looks to me like it should be about an inch longer. Not sure why, if it's made for this size bed, it's borderline too short. Not sure about waterproofness yet. Will report back.

Where do you have it sitting on the front bulkhead?

I have it so some of the rubber seal makes contact in the front and also at the tailgate. I actually crawled inside the bed with it on to make sure it was centered best as possible fore and aft. It is what it is.

Picture please. Also could you take a picture of the rear latches? I’m trying to decide on a cover but it needs to be easier for me to open than the pull down latches.

I'll get some for ya when I get home from work later

First impressions on first highway drive. Doesn't flap, zero noise noticeable. I did notice that the vinyl covering on the panel closest to the rear window bubbles up at highway speed.

Hey I just installed this same tonneau. Does your have some areas on the sides that kind of “bubble up”? I’m not sure if it comes like this or the one real truck sent me is faulty.

Thanks

Not really sure what you mean. The panel closest to the window bubbles up while driving at highway speeds. The material lifts off the metal underneath. The other panels don't do it. There's a spot on both sides where the hinge is that doesn't sit as flat as the rest of the panel because of an additional foam block also. Post some pics and I'll tell you if it's like mine.

I took a look this morning and it looks like it’s evened itself out. Maybe it was just Bubbled up from its fold up position in shipping box. It looks clean now. Very happy with the product. I also called realtruck and they gave me a members discount when I purchased.

This is my favorite style. I had one on my previous Ram, and loved it. It's easy to care for, and you don't have to worry about dents. I've seen way too many aluminum hard covers with dents.

This is what I’m looking at as well, when my Maverick arrives. Can you describe and show some pics of how it attaches and with it open? The pics and description on the website lack detail.

 

[Johndl58]

Truck is at home and I'm at work but if you scroll up I posted a pic looking in from tailgate that shows the lever lock on rear most panel. The front panel is attached by a similar style clamp without a lever. There is also a safety strap on either side that clamps to side rail by front panel. Very simple.

Did you all get the liftgate seal? If not, are there any water issues without it? I don't need total driness, but I also don't want it to get mildewy and stinky in the bed.

 

[Johndl58]

Did not get it and dryness is not an issue, but it's on my list.
