I was always skeptical about "lifetime" warranties (especially in Quebec, where consumer protection is quite weak). But, at the same time, it does seem to me that Line-X cares about its image. And since I am going to spray the truck the idea of a bundled deal seems worth exploring. If it gets close enough to the best price on F1 I can find - why not

So it would be enough for me to read about Bakflip F1. In fact, I had one question about that particular cover. I do not like the idea of the cover touching the rear window when fully folded. I think I saw that F1 has some sort of supports that hold it when folded. Am I right?

Thanks!

Yes, mine is new, so limited experience. But I did have a large item in there during Christmas time when I had to fold it all the way back. There were built in stilts that hold it in place and also straps, and a cushion. Once everything was secured in place, I had zero worries about hitting the window, and I, like you, was originally skeptical.

Also, the latest model (I got this in November) has a different trim piece on the end of the cover, where it meats the tailgate. My co-worker bought same model a few months prior and her metal stops short, then has rubber meeting the tailgate. Mine has the metal all the way to the tailgate and the rubber seal is on the underside. This is good because less potential for rubber seal to fail from dryrot or wear and tear. The sales person said this was a recent improvement they made in Q4 of 2016.

As far as the lifetime warranty, I agree as well. I brought it to the attention to my Line-X local store that he could close shop at any moment. The system is warrantied at ANY Line-X location. Ofcourse, company goes out of business and I assume you're out of luck, but same can be said for any type of un secured warranty. I viewed the risk as low and the value has a nice plus.

OP, still happy with your cover?

Don’t know if it’s been said in 3 pages, but the Truck Gear “by Line-X” is actually a rebadged Bakflip cover.

I will be having my bed sprayed on December 2nd and will also be having their Tonneau cover installed at the same time.
Looking forward to having both done.

...but with a lifetime warranty.

So I just got quoted $1300 for both my already booked standard Spray in liner and a new truck gear they had ordered for someone else that never came back for it.

How does that sound?

I paid $490 for the spray and $1195 truck gear or 1685 total, so I think its a good deal.

For my short bed I was quoted $500 plus a $25 fee for the bed being aluminum. So $525, for the standard spray. Seems a bit high, yeah?

No idea why they would want to charge 25 extra dollars due to an aluminum bed?!?
