I like the product, there
I like the product, there is a but. When I ordered I don't ever remember seeing an email saying when expected ship date only that my order was received and being processed. After a couple of weeks which had a holiday in it I called to find out. They gave me an a expected ship date, but it shipped couple days later than that. It arrived with no issues. When I tried to install, that is where the real hassles started. After struggling to get it installed, had issues getting back clamp on. Before operating the cover I checked dimensions between rails. The rear of the truck rail measurement was a 1/2 inch short and both rails where as tight as possible to the truck bed rails with the shims removed.
Since it was supposed to rain over night and needed to drive the truck the next day I removed everything. While I had the rails in the garage I noticed that the "L" brackets that are pop riveted where in the wrong locations. I called customer service and talked to Tony and explained my issues.
Since I was on a time frame to have the cover on the truck before I was leaving on vacation and needed to keep my luggage dry since it was supposed to rain that week( it did actually rain ) Since there was not enough time before our trip to wait for a replacement to be shipped,my only option at this point was to drill out and swap two brakets myself before cover would work properly.
I switched the brackets and cover works as it was supposed to and was alot easier to re install this time around
Only issue after installation is there is a small leak at the back of the rails to the tail gate of the truck. The cover has a nice rubber strip that mates up to the tail gate but there is a small gap at each rail end. I'm going to see if I can find a small gasket the will close this gap.
Overall the switchblade cover works great, just hated that I had to do it twice and do a repair to make it work.
