Shop Victoriously and you don't have to wait for shipping. I hit the storage unit auctions.

Any one got the backflip type?

How long have you had it? Any problems with scratching or fading?

I've only had it about a month so no scratches yet. We have had some rain and ice and the bed stayed dry. As far as the Peragon cover that is what I was going to get first, but the reviews I read had a lot of people that said it leaked pretty bad. Peragon's website even said that the make no clame to be water tight, that and security are the two main reasons I wanted a lockable cover in the first place.

I have the retrax for a year now. So far no issues with fading or scratching of its gloss black finish. It has frozen up on me after water gets into the latch and the temp drops.

Default rolling hard covers

I just watched the Retrax video and I think I like it better than my Pace Edwards. It's lighter and goes over the top of the tailgate. My PE just butts up to the tailgate and it will let a little water in. It also needs to be stiffer at that point. The Roll Bak locks into the tailgate but I don't like the piece of square stock you have to fasten to the tailgate. They also tend to leak at the front where the PE doesn't. Retrax looks to have solved all the problems. Best of all, it only costs 2/3's what my PE Full Metal Jack Rabbit cost me.
