Got my ROLLBAK installed/ Pix inside

Well after alot of research on this forum, I went with the RollBak bedcover. This thing is awesome, fit and finish kicks ***. I took my time and install took a couple of hours. This thing works like a charm, kinda like a garage door for your truck. It sits ultra flush, makes me kinda feel like the kid im my signature

Very slick looking I like it as well as your truck but I am partial to Silver. Does the little lip to close it near the tailgate help your downforce at highway speeds? "They call it mini spoiler."
Once again love the ride keep on pimpin.'

Im not sure yet, I have only had it 2 days. From the quaility and the seal's on the unit I would guess it would be very water tight.

Thanks BRO
It does look like a mini wing spoiler, which I think looks pretty cool.

You will get some water near the tailgate and at the front of the bed. Not too bad though. I think it's impossible to make this style bed cover water "proof" For that you would need a shell(which is inconvient to remove and sits high) or an over the rail tonneau(which has no security)
I found this cover to have the best of both worlds and meet my needs.
I still love mine after 4months and wouldn't trade it for any other one.

one thing i did with my rollbak is to take a 1/4" thick piece of weather sealant, stick it to the top inner edge of your tailgate, so when closed it seals the very end...further preventing water from coming inside...

yea, thats the automotive weather stipping stuff-purple box at home depot...its pretty squishy in the summer/heat, and moves around alot, but now that its cold, it sticks hard... ah the foot, 3 titanium screws...no cartilage in my big toe, painful to walk, couldnt run, work out, so had it fixed... cut a wedge out to increase big toe gap to solve bone rubbing, then the wedge was reinserted in the toe, to re-gain the length... its been in a cast for 6 wks, now in the boot for another week. :cheers:
