spooner Member 84 Member For: 18y 2m 12d Posted 24/10/08 09:47 AM Posted 24/10/08 09:47 AM Hi All, Id say the New design for fastening the tonneau cover is completely crap , sure it may look better than the BA style, but using it day in day out is hard with only one person, scratches the sides, doesnt hold properly, weak as piss. Both my side rails snapped in half after 6 goes at easy on and off, . at least I can fold it now to make it easier to use. Just waiting now for it to fly off while driving . At least the BA lugs worked even if ugly.Cheers

Before I had my hard lid fitted I was driving on the M7 at 100 kph and the thing ripped off and was flapping about like a crazy thing just being held on by the front anchors.. All it takes as I found out is not have it perfectly clipped in and the wind gets in then its all over. Lucky it didnt scratch the paint or I'd be really pissed.Dont think it would win any design awards mate.

spooner Member 84 Member For: 18y 2m 12d Posted 31/10/08 08:55 AM Author Posted 31/10/08 08:55 AM The extra inside hooks for oversize loads , securing sound great in theory, but is only 2 each side , connected to one elastic strap , that has no tension capabilities at all You really need a extra 2 for front , and 2 at the rear which arent there to make it work properly . :(Also in rain the water builds up in cover and through weight makes the back section release and cave in whilst parked :(Weak As and Useless if you actually use the ute bit for putting stuff in, which is a shame .The new adustable slider mounts work great for big things

I have noticed a few in the yard haven't been fitted on the correct lip, this allows the water to cave it in
healey Member 51 Member For: 18y 2m 8d Posted 01/11/08 02:50 AM Posted 01/11/08 02:50 AM Exactly what I was gonna ask. Have had no dramas with mine. It does seem as though they lock on in two stages so I'm always carefull to get it clipped on properly.
