No problems at all. I've driven in pouring rain, snow, sleet and fog.

Those look nice, but I had one on my Superduty. It renders the bed useless. If anything, I will get a low profile hard tri-fold.

I have never heard of the 15-17 aftermarket heads having moisture issues. His is the first I have seen.

Take a look at the Peragon webpage before you pull the trigger on a tonneau. They have a very nice product and it allows easy bed access and it is lockable.
You can even get it PTM. great customer service, and they have a deal on the forum.

Sorry if that sounds to much like a commercial. No, I don't work for them.

Yeah, I wouldn't say useless, but hindered. A tri-fold would look good though. I wish someone would devise a tonneau/toolbox hybrid

Added insurance. I was looking at buying some for my 04-08 from the same supplier he used

Someone does, but I can't think of the brand right now

Let me rephrase.....I have a tonneau that I kept from my 07. It cost $100 and goes on and off in 5 minutes. I can remove it myself and it stores nicely in the ceiling of my garage. I am not buying another tonneau in the near future, lol.

Shouldn't be needed. The 04-08, the lens sits "in" the black housing. 15-17, the lens sits "on" the housing. I have spent time researching because I didn't want moisture issues, so I was going Special Edition OEM, until it was pretty much proven the 15-17 dont have issues like tje 04-08.
