RollBak covers?

I'm considering a Rollbak for my truck, and was wondering what others thoughts/recommendations are on this cover, i.e. how do they hold up, look etc.? From their website, looks like a real nice product, and I really like that it is solid aluminum. I've had retractables before, but they always either warped or rattled, love the function but want something that's going to hold up.

The only problem my customers have had is because it is aluminum is gets hot as heck in the summer and you cant even touch it. Look at the Roll-n-Lock, it works just as good and has a vinyl cover over the aluminum.

I've put my Roll-n-Lock on my truck when I got my 03 new,best money I've spent on my truck so for.The lock gets hot at times in the summer,but so does the truck body.If I had it too over again I would,any other truck I may get next time will have one on it.

Roll-n-lock/ReTraxx

I have the retraxx version installed on my Mark LT, love it. It looks great because its flush with the bed. Had to do Retraxx because of bed rails, but its the same as roll-n-lock. Very secure, and for what its worth I did see a gas milage increase.

I have a roll-n-lock as well and other than a few small issues with it not wanting to retract like it should, I really like it. I have found though that it does leak significantly if I don't park in such a way that the water rolls off the cover. This could be due to needing to replace the weather seal that the cover slides along. Not sure where to find parts for this thing. Really haven't spend a lot of time on it. Works well to keep my bed secure and rolls up when I need to haul something big. I really like it better than a soft Tonneau or a fiberglass cap, both of which I've had before.--DIY
