Nice review! I placed my order for the exact same cover over a week ago, also got the Military discount, working with the Pennsylvania based company could not have been better. Mine will arrive in mid-October. Just in time to mount on new RAM 1500 Limited, and head to PA/New York for Steelhead Fishing.

Thanks for posting. You are right not many videos of the smooth with cleats. I’ve been debating getting this set up. From the video it looks like you might need to compress the front and back more when closed. I could be wrong. Looks good! Last line of defense did a install video saying how he compressed the openings to get the right tension when installing.

I think that's my next step. I put a kettle bell on, but the instructions don't really call for compression. I got it tighter since the video though. Go for it.

@@MarineX As per instructions: "Adjust the lock rods" - Marker 13 - see exclamation point below diagram read: "For best weather protection, have a second person press down on the cover while you adjust the lock rods." I used two little giant ladders and laid them on top, but a few kettle bells would work. The weather stripping takes a few days to compress to where smooth operation of the locking rods takes place without having to push down much on the cover.

Great video! Sweet truck too. Question, I have a 2109 Sierra with the push button "auto" tailgate. Do you think, or have heard if it will drop easily with the rear section still closed? I don't want to have to open the rear DB section everytime I want in the bed. Thanks!
@MarineX
@MarineX 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks brother. From my understanding it will drop easily. DB purposely leaves a small gap between the tailgate and the cover. You seal that gap with provided weather stripping. But the tailgate works seamlessly.
