Default Installed my Peragon bed cover

I received my cover last night and I decided I wanted to install it even though it was night out. I had some flood lights going, so no troubles there.

The Cover and rails came in separate boxes, but they did show up on the same day. I printed off the instructions before I opened the boxes...should have done the boxes first because they send you a print out of the instruction with the hardware.

Everything was packaged very nicely and unscathed after the long journey on the Fedex ride.

I want to say it took me about 2.5 hours or so in the dark to install the bed cover. I had to loosen and tighten the bolts that hold the rails to the truck a few times to finally get everything lined up so the panels would slide without popping off the rubber bump stops and not bind, but nothing too difficult. I used the lines of the plastic covers on my truck to help me visually keep the rails straight before tightening and retrying to close the cover.

Anyway, I had to work tonight, but when I got out to my phone I had a voicemail from Peragon wanting to make sure that they were there if I had any questions or needed help with anything. A+ Customer Service in my book!

The fitment was very exact. I can tell a lot of R&D has been done. I'm very pleased with the product.

Here are a couple pics I snapped before going to work today. I'll get some more if you guys want.

Thank you! When it's folded up it's 6". But the panels are easily removable if you need all of your bed space. (one of the reasons I picked this cover).

It looks awesome!! I am debating on whether to get my peragon cover PTM or just go with black. I have the Ruby Red and it may be too much red...although it is an awesome color.

The main thing I would like to know from FLOWGOODE is the is the a rattle when going over any bumps. Is it a quiet, solid cover that rides quiet!! I can't stand rattling when driving down the road!!

Thank you! I'll have to get back to you on the rattle, or I can ask my wife, she's been driving the truck since I put the cover on. I've been driving the mustang to work this weekend. But I'll drive it tomorrow for sure and I'll go over some "rough road" and let you know my results. Windows up and windows down.
