What would cause this?

I’ve had a tonneau on my truck for about 3 weeks now. It is a trifold soft cover.

On the outside of the cover, over the bow nearest the back glass, there is a line developing, that sticks out like a sore thumb to me.

I have only used soap and water, and 303 on this cover.

 

It’s not the best picture, but you can see what I’m referring to. It’s actually about 1/4 of the way across the bow in person.

 

You will get a line over each hinge from opening and closing, it folds the material. Won't it crack in the cold?

 

I could see that after a few months even...but I’ve folded it like three times in the three weeks its been on. I guess my question is, is this normal? I’ve never had one before.

Seems pretty chintzy if this is normal.

 

what brand? I've got the Tyger soft tonneau cover and hope that yours isn't the same...

 

It’s a Lund....Genesis TriFold.

 

This is just one of the reasons I spent the money and bought a hard tri-fold.

 

I've had a Tyger tri-fold on my '09 for 7 months, have opened and folded it back dozens of times--not a mark or even fold line on it...

 

I called Lund, they are handling it. This has to be a fluke.
