G4 Elite Almost installed

Decided to go with Fold-a-Cover. I was prepped for a long install and still not finished. The hardware was missing 2 washers at the end....kinda irritated about that. Now have to install the weather stripping. I read this step was eliminated but not with this one from FAC. Currently satisfied with the choice.

 

I'm happy with mine after 2 years. It takes quite a bit of adjusting during install but fit and finish are very good. I wanted to retain use of the rail system and the cover is well secured when driving with it folded open.

 

How long did the install take?

 

It took me about 4 hours total including the rear seal installation after I was happy with final adjustments.

 

Total time around 3+ hrs over a few days. I still haven't done the tailgate seals yet. I think I'm done with the final adjustments. Just ordered 303 protectant per FAC.

 

Tailgate seal that big of a deal? I'm guessing it keeps the water out. How's it look?

 

Like this:




Keeps most water out, not totally but much less than without the seal.

 

Suppose to rain over the next few days. Ill see how she holds up before I install weather seal and make adjustments. So far, great cover.

 

Will also install weather seals today. The cover is slick and very user friendly. After 2 weeks, I had to adjust the rails but not much. I definitely like the ability to access both ends.
