have the F1 on right now
I ordered it then canceled the order within 12 hrs
Salesman got hold of me and said they would ship it out and I can try it for 30 days if I don't like it I can send it back with no restocking fees.
bottom line is,,, I don't like it ,
Main reasons
There's noway the woman and kids are going to be able to flip that lid easily
don't like that u need bungie's to leave it part way open

And I've driven several hundred miles with both one panel and two panels open on the freeways between LA and Sandy Eggo here in Cali without using "bungie's" and never had any issues or instances of the panels jumping or flapping in the wind. Maybe if I was offroading there might be a concern with open panels, but then any hard, folding paneled tonneau cover would have the same problems.

They VP just came out, it looks very nice it's covered with some sort of vinyl so it looks like one smooth piece instead of 4 sections. What I like best about it is it doesn't have those hideous drain hoses in the bed (which is what has stopped me from buying some of the other models) and is supposed to be 100% waterproof. It's also much cheaper than some of the others, I'm buying one next week for $690.
Downside to some people might be that it doesn't support as much weight as some of the others but as for me I don't care I plan on putting stuff in my bed not the cover

Pay retail on a cover? Not in this forum! Look up and contact Clark from autoanything.com for a way better quote than that!

I'm not sure why you think it's too heavy for "the woman" but my girlfriend of 5'1" can easily open the panels.
And I've driven several hundred miles with both one panel and two panels open on the freeways between LA and Sandy Eggo here in Cali without using "bungie's" and never had any issues or instances of the panels jumping or flapping in the wind. Maybe if I was offroading there might be a concern with open panels, but then any hard, folding paneled tonneau cover would have the same problems.

I guess that's just the way it goes , mine can but not easily.
I had no ideal you can drive without it being strapped down
