For those looking at buying a cover…
When I purchase my truck I had the Undercover SE tonneau cover installed on my truck and although I usually haul stuff in my truck (ie. sleds, dirt bikes etc.) I really liked having the ability to keep things in the back securely.
My truck is used primarily for driving to and from work on paved roads. I have not been doing any off-roading (yes I know, I die a little inside every time I say that). That being said, this cover has lasted two years and the hinge on one side broke. The cover is tough but the hinges are held on by 3/16” pop rivets into the plastic. Even driving it on paved roads the cover would shift around and I would constantly be readjusting to keep it straight on the truck. When the hinge broke it did lots of damage to the paint (one picture attached) and the cover is cracked at the hinge locations.
The fact that the Undercover SE couldn’t handle paved roads pretty much sums up how it would do if you go off-roading at all (or even drive a dirt road).
Although it’s within the 3 year period for warranty, Undercover refuses to honor it since it was bought and installed with truck and not by me personally.
I won’t be dealing with Undercover or any THI companies in the future after dealing with them.
I’m looking into a few others that will fold or roll-up and allow me to haul stuff for my next one.
Thought I’d share my experience… now that I got this off my trucks back and don’t have to worry about it, maybe it’s time to go do some off-roading…
