    that looks like it's ultra tight and leak proof.

    I just listed my brand new, still in the original box, OEM Tonneau Cover in the for sale section. Taking best offer.

    I would go big or go home... get the best... OEM and backflips are already 1k... look at diamond back. It’s better in every aspect

    I’m taking off for the west coast next Friday so I can’t afford to wait 2 weeks for Diamondback. I’m gonna go Tyger alloy T5. It will do what I need it to do and has a 5 yr warranty.

    that's crazy and yet if you pay $250 extra, they'll ship it within 3 days.

    I am looking to buy my DCLB today or tomorrow. Dealer offers 15% odd tonneau cover

    I am thinking of getting the tonnea and the bed lights from them.

    appreciate your thoughts

    So it’s a port installed option and dealer can’t do it?

    I wanted the OEM because I wanted to initially keep everything on my truck OEM but went with the Bakflip MX4 and I love it. I like how it lets you fold the cover all the way up to create additional space in the truck bed.

    Dealer can do it but it is much more expensive.

    Mine had the OEM installed and I did not like it at all. The dealer agreed to remove it and gave me full credit. I installed the Bakflip, it’s a much better top.
