I did too. Call Terry at Auto Accessories Garage. He gave me a 10% discount.

I went with the Diamond Back SE cover. It’s a bit more but I think it’s worth it.

Looks awesome. I am looking at low profile inside the rail version. How does that one work in winter.

I’m not 100% sure since I just installed it but the SE version supports 400lbs on top of it. Plus it has a life warranty.

Have you had any issues with water getting into the bed? I’m in the market for a new cover but I’m worried about the hard rains we get here in Texas.

a little gets in near the corners but not much. i could put something own in the middle of the bed and it would never get wet. no cover is going to be 100% watertight.

I had the heavy duty black one Diamondback on my truck for a while. They are awesome but each type of tonneau serves it's own purpose.

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?
