Rubber one. It's good, the sides don't get too scratched and look good still and **** doesn't slide around . I take the mat out and spray under it ever so often and still looks new underneath.

Thought Line X had a lifetime warranty?

I took out the originals and added the 3" blocks on the rear.

What do you like more about the G2? I've done some research and it seems nearly identical to the VP. The Roll-x looks good but I don't think it locks into place in increments. I believe it's either closed or opened all the way. Also ,do all the BAK covers require the drain tubes ?
Thanks .

I've got a Bakflip Fibermax and like it very much. I've had it for a year now in Florida - and we get a bit of rain here!!

I've got an OE drop-in bed liner. When I first installed the tonneau I didn't put in the drip tubes - I was going to do it a few days latter. However, after driving a few days in several heavy rain showers with no leaks I decided I not to botherinstalling the drip tubes.

When I open the tailgate after a heavy rain I might see a slightly damp spot (maybe a couple teaspoons of water) in the rear of the bed, but the drop-in liner has channels in it where the drips settle and anything I have in the bed doesn't get wet.

[MENTION=122875]terraformer[/MENTION] - how much are you looking to get for your Peragon? Is it the new model?
PM sent.

I'm glad I came across your reply . I came very close to ordering a Peragon today. I was going to have it painted the platinum white . Thanks for saving me $1000+. My search continues .......
I'd like a cover that can be painted to match the truck but I don't think I'll find one .
