i have the bak mx4 and no problems after a few years installed. i had originally wanted a roll up type cover but i found quite a few reviews online, for more than one product line, talking about how the ice can impede it's operation. living next to lake erie and the lake-effect winters we get that made the decision for me. happy to report no issues with the mx4 due to winter.

I have the Bak Roll X which is very similar to the current rolling Revolver series. I cannot tell the difference but I’m sure they made some minor upgrades versus mine, but it appears the main issue still exists. The glued on felt panels adhered to the under side of this cover to prevent your hands from getting pinched when rolling and un-rolling this cover. This is glued on and we purchased 3 of these for our company, all 3 have the same issue with it falling off after 1-2 years of use. Mine has now completely warped on the top cover from and is cracked and ripped from sun damage. Just this week, it completely fell apart and now the panels are coming apart. It is about 5 years old and I got about 1-2 decent years out of it. Now it needs to be completely replaced.
I plan to contact Bak but I know it is out of warranty so I don’t expect much. We will see what they say but I would HIGHLY recommend against the Rolling version of these covers. The glued on felt is a major design flaw.

I have new 2019 and bought a Truxedo roll up.
I have vibration at 65 mph and up.
I talked to the company and the customer service women is making lame suggestions.
She refused to talk to their engineers until I told her I’m returning it. I’m waiting on response
It appears to me, the Cross bars are vibrating.
My theory is, with alum body and quiet cab this problem always existed. Road noise masked it.
The cover is tight as a drum.
Sounds like distant thunder when vibration starts.
I rolled the cover up and sound goes away.
Anyone have this problem?
