Mine's been installed closed to 8 months and I've been very pleased with it. In fact, I got flagged down the other day by a guy in a 2013 limited wanting to know what brand the cover was. He was very impressed with function and price.

But, it serves my needs perfectly, easy to operate and easy to move out of the way when I need it.

I would have bough a peragon but there's one crazy thing about their design. If there's something in the front of the truck bed, you can't open the cover. The cover has to be able to push down in the front. I don't understand how this is functional. Lots of times I have my bed right full with my bak-flip covering it.

eye.surgeon is right about that space. It hasn't bothered me as there is a measure of space about a foot above the frame support for the cover and of course the clearance needed at the front of the bed for all the panels to fold in. If I'm carrying something that needs that space, I remove the panels. I typically keep it closed all the time and the contents don't interfere with the cover functionality.

As many state in cover reviews on here, it's all in how ya gonna use your bed

Mine has been on for about two years now and I still love it. I can remove it completely when I need to load the bike in the back. And I just drove across the country with a lot of gear in the back, and towing a trailer, with no issues. It's not completely water tight, but if that isn't an issue for you, then buy one.

I love the looks of mine, but it leaks a little mire than I like. I have been told it is finicky on making sure it is level. I believe I have got mine as close to leaves as I can. At first I thought mine was leaking where the cover met the rails on the truck, then on a rainy day I looked in the bed and the water was getting in where the cover itself went into the rails it slides on. I knew the cover was not waterproof, but too much water gets in for my taste. I have also noticed rust starting to form on the rollers for the cover inside the cover rails . I will be moving to another cover soon.

I'd like to help in any way we can with these two concerns - I want to make sure you're happy with your Peragon cover.

Like you mentioned, the cover isn't waterproof - some dripping along the edges is normal, but if it seems excessive it may be a seal issue and we can send replacements at no charge for you.

The rollers are plated and shouldn't corrode for quite some time, but those also can be replaced and we'll send those at no charge for you.

The best way to contact us to arrange that would be if you could call our Support team at (877) 473-7246 ext 2 and we'll make sure we get you taken care of. I appreciate your business and would like to keep you as a Peragon cover owner.
