  • Are your covers weather proof?
    Our covers have an integrated fabric seal on both the front and back. This seal forms a tight barrier between your truck and cover. Best of all, since it is part of the skin, it wont tear away like cheap rubber seals. In addition, our premium models have an ELEMENT SEAL™ that gives you a dual seal at the front where most leakage can occur. For additional protection, locate and seal miscellaneous factory holes, crevices and stake pockets that are on box.

    Do the covers transfer from one model of truck to another?
    All of our covers are made model specific to tight tolerances. This ensures the best fit possible and therefore is not transferable to trucks with different box sizes.

    Do the Roll-Up Covers work with 5th Wheels?
    Yes, simply roll the cover to the front of your truck box and secure it with the straps.

    How long will the cover material last?
    The life expectancy of the cover is determined by how well you take care of it. All of our rollup covers use the same heavy-duty, double coated and UV protected vinyl. The fabric will not stretch in heat and is proven flexible to -40 degrees. The attractive low embossed texture resists dust and dirt. A mild liquid soap and water is best for cleaning. To shine and increase the longevity of your cover an occasional application of a non-oil, non-silicone product such as PPC Formula 2 Cleaner/Protectant is all that is needed.

    Will my gas mileage increase with a cover?
    With the cover in the closed position, your pickups aerodynamics are improved, which results in increased mileage. According to some studies, gas mileage can increase as much as 10%.

    Will the covers work with bed extenders?
    Because the cover rails mount on the inside of the box, the bed extender must have at least 3 inches of clearance on each side of the bed when rotated to clear the rails. Or it must be able to detach from the truck, be manually rotated and re-attached. We also have bed extender spacer kits available for late model Nissan Titan and Frontier trucks.

    Will the covers work with other bed accessories?
    Our covers are compatible with bed rails, bed caps, tailgate protectors as well as most drop-in, under-the-rail and spray-on liners.
