I have a BAK Industries X4 Revolver on my F-150. When it was first installed it looked and functioned great. However, after 4 years in the desert heat of Tucson, it is on its last leg. the glue that binds the vinyl to the slats is subpar at best. I've called every truck accessory shop in Tucson to see if they have a fix and every one of them said the same thing, That they do not service, sell or push the Revolver out here for the exact same reason I'm having. I have no doubt it will probably be a great product in more temperate climates or if you can keep it out of direct sunlight, but the desert heat killed mine. Naturally it occurs when the product is out of warranty.

Here is a better shot


A wrinkle would be a crease, those are the furthest away from the definition of a wrinkle. This new Truxedo cover is made from a backpack like nylon material that is somewhat pliable. I just had it opened before this pic and when you initially roll it back it has some play to it. I pull the cover taught along the Velcro sides usually and didn't before I snapped this picture.

I'd like to see some pics of your $120 purchase so we can identify with your findings. How does it seal up against the bed, does it leak, how are the latches built. Not saying it isn't a good product or that paying $400 more gets you a better product but without pictures it's hard to compare anything.

I can tell you the difference, the cheaper ones last longer than the expensive ones. I have used standard old vinyl covers for years, the last truck I had I bought a $800 Backflip cover, that thing totally warped to crap in 2 years and the truck isn't out side much (I park in the garage at home and park in the garage at work), I currently have a Cheap old Tyger brand from Amazon (I think it was less than $200), It's a year and a half old still looks like new, it's been through the car wash at least 60 times and it also keeps out almost all the rain unlike that leaking piece of junk Bakflip. So expensive isn't always better went it comes to a bed cover.
