Has anyone mounted a headache bar with the Revolver X2?
I'm thinking something like the Spyder, which claims to be tonneau-compatible.

The solid fold 2.0 does not work with power tailgate
I love the concept of this X2 cover but I am just not sold on it yet. The way the rails sit and look so unfinished on the ends just kills me. I guess my OCD is kicking in here. LOL
If you watch some of the youtube videos on this cover it looks to me when they close it at the end the rails seem to just bend and cave in? Does this do that to you all that own this? Just does not look sturdy or strong... I think there should be less rail and more cover but with the locking system this may not be possible. Also another thing that I see that could be an issue is them two locking flags on each side. I could see me one day picking up some nice furniture for the house and them loading it into the bed and hitting of them and either scratching up the item and or ripping off the locking tabs right off. Maybe it's just the pics but they look to stick out quite a bit???
For my new 2015 I am looking at the Extang Solid Fold 2.0 or the Retrax Pro MX. Just look at the rails on them very fined tuned and looks like it's built like a tank, but of course you are talking from what 765 for the X2 and 1500 for the Retrax Pro MX. You get what you pay for.
Of course there is no prefect cover and I am still up in the air on this and looking for the right one for me. Just two many to choose from.
I had the Extang Solid Fold on my 2014 F150 XLT but gave it to the dealer when I traded for the 2014. Of course I go them to give some money for it...
Shims not needed here you can adj with the set screws on the Retrax.
Rails look very nice on the retrax

I just installed mine yesterday (2016, 5'6" bed). Got it from Luke at Truck Alterations (He's good people!). I had the Roll-X on my 2013 and had taken it on and off a couple of times, so putting the new one on was a breeze.
The new Revolver has some design improvements over the old style Roll-X. Everything seemed better made and beefier. All the changes were for the better. Didn't see anything that disappointed.
I also had the tailgate drag a bit on the back of the cover. With the Revolver rolled out and locked down, I crawled inside the bed, loosened the back clamp on that side and pushed the side rail up just a hair and then tightened the clamp back down. Problem solved.
I lived with a Roll-X for 3 years and really liked it. We took several trips with it. When we travel in the truck, we switch from regular luggage to plastic bins with watertight lids. They fit nicely in the bed, 3-across and are easy to move in and out of the house or hotel. What little bit of water does make it into the bed isn't a problem.
I will add the "security fix" I made to the previous one before our first trip and we should be good to go!
