tab Sucker Moderating Team 32,303 Member For: 20y Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 03/10/04 11:20 AM Share Posted 03/10/04 11:20 AM I'm currently looking at a new cover for the back of my T, and am contemplating a roller/shutter type (I’m sure they have a proper name) to provide the compromise between security and the convenience of not completely removing the standard hardcover to carry a taller load.Does anyone have one of these installed, if so could you please provide feedback in relation to: - brand/manufacturer/installer (where to get the little suckers) - type (as in motor driven or spring retracting) - price - space consumed (at the front of the tray) - aesthetics (do they look like crap in the flesh) - negative aspects (do they rattle after a few k’s) - other recommendations or aspects that may have slipped my simple mindthanks,Trent.

I will post some pics tomorrow with some daylight to take them in. The good part is it doesn't leak water and even at a car wash you may just get a drop or 2 in. It was from Bluey's in Melbourne and cost about $2200.00 or there abouts.Very practical and secure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I still think the factory ones looks best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback guys.Trent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
