Interesting. Have you experienced any of the issues noted in this review?
I like the look, little worried about the binding although not sure if that is due to the wrap. is it as flimsy as it looks on the video?
His video was spot on,BUT...looks like most of his problem came from his vinyl wrap job...
I researched these till I was seeing double,and for what I needed....Its great....and the low profile look and the way you can just pop it right off really easy also swayed me....I didnt like that you folded the Bak-Lite against back window....I personally didnt want to ride around with a cover strapped to back of my cab if I needed the room...this one comes off in 15 seconds...its rather heavy,but one guy can do with no problem...
As far as "flimsy" all the 3 section covers are flimsy if you flex them...whole idea is to keep everything straight and in line when taking off or folding it back so you dont damage the seals...Again,his problem with the cover damaging the wrap when folded back,is only in his situation.....
The LoMax comes from factory with some type of vinyl or carbon fiber squares on lid,matching color of cover where the rubber nubs that are damaging his white wrap would rest,so you dont have to worry about leaving scratches on the cover where the 2 or 4 nubs fold back onto it...At first I didnt like these 4 black squares on the black cover,but they blend in good and no big deal now...He was also correct in saying,yeah,you can lay on it,holds 400lbs...yadda-yadda-yadda....IF you need a cover you can stand on,sleep on,strap heavy shit on....buy the DiamondBack....At first liked the look,but then really didnt like the way it stuck up over the bed rails so much,didnt need to haul stuff on top of my cover,and last,its 3x the price.....
SO,bottom line,buy according to how you will use it.....IMHO,if you want a killer low profile look,and a really good seal (NONE are 100% watertight,except maybe the DiamondBack)....LoMax is the way to go....or if you need that WeatherTech badge on it,pay a couple hundred more..LOL... There was a blog on here about the WeatherTech being a rebranded LoMax,and stories about it on the web....
PM me and I'll LYK now much I got mine for....only have had it a couple months,but doubt $$ went up...Guess I'll see in a year or 2 if it was still a good decision...I dont need to open and close it all day long,more for looks....so being as well made as it is,dont see why it wont hold up.
