Just Installed the Keko Tonneau Cover

HawkeyeBunny · Dec 29, 2022

Picked up the Tonneau Cover when it was on their black Friday sale. Was easy to install and I'm pleased with the outcome.

Also attempted to install an AVS bugflector II bug shield but that was a disaster as it did not fit and was so poorly manufactured.

Looks nice.

How does that roll up, and release?

HawkeyeBunny · Dec 29, 2022

You squeeze two tabs under the cover to release and you roll it up and there are a couple of bungee cords to keep it rolled up.

I have the Ford one, I can't seem to get some of the wrinkles out, no matter what I do, this looks pretty taught, nice.

Looks nice when down; but does it limit review when rolled up?, Think I will go with folding hard cover, as I have had good luck with those in the past. But I guess it is more a matter of preference. It really does fit well, good luck.

I purchased the Keko cover as well. I like it, but the ziplock style vs the velco style I am still not sure about. It seals better than velco, but it takes some effort to seal it up with your thumb/hands. I have only had it for 2 weeks so maybe it will get easier when it gets worked in a few times.

Let me guess on the AVS bug defector - it was deformed as you’re facing the truck a bit right of center?
I went through 2 before I just asked for a refund. Guessing they had a bad run

Yes the ABS bug deflector was deformed a bit right of center. I didn't bother with a replacement just asked for a refund. Very disappointed as I don't want a bug deflector that you have to use the 3M tape with. I don't think there is another manufacturer that makes one that mounts under the hood like the AVS.

My AVS bug deflector was deformed on the right side also. I was able to work it out to somewhat flat with a heat gun as I had already tossed the box. There is definitely a consistent issue with the design mold. It is much better than an adhesive one though.

You probably couldn't even tell now if you didn't know. There is definitely a consistent issue with the design mold. It is much better than an adhesive one though.

Seems like the company is aware that there is an issue with the product as they don't want me to ship the item back. They said to trash it.

Well, when I'm going to have my cover rolled up, I will have something taller than the top of my bed so my view out the back window would be limited anyways, so not really a big concern for me.

I've worked it in and out few time now. Does seem to be getting easier and I would imagine it will be easier to work in the warm weather versus the cold weather.

This is an interesting one, and is now at the top of the list for consideration.

I have been pretty dead set on the Truxedo proX15 because it looks so nice and sleek for a decent price, but at a little over $500 I'm realizing that it is going to be a hard sell to the wife because for whatever reason she thinks tonneau covers are dumb in the first place.

I will probably try to get my dealer to just order the Ford soft roll-up one and add it into the loan when I take ownership of the truck. If that isn't a possibility, and the wife turns down the ProX15 because of the price, I will probably pursue this one because it seems like a better quality and look than the Ford soft roll-up for just about the same price. Plus, I really like the idea of the ziplock type closure and the video on their site showing off the graphene components and quality of the cover material has me sold on the product.

How well does this cover keep water out, and does the cover material really seem like a better quality than most vinyl covers like they claim?
