I have this one too. It's really strong. I can stand on it. Mine sits pretty flush but it's not 100% water proof. I have a few drops in the box after a wash. Norman snow and rain is fine. One thing I found is that it freezes to the tailgate in the winter when it's really cold out.

This is what I prefer as well. Looks flush, clean, and is still very much useful.

I have the Undercover Flex and absolutely love it. No issues with it whatsoever so far, works like a charm, and reasonably protects the goods inside the box (no tonneau cover will protect it 100% unless you get the huge fibreglass ones).

I got my tonneau cover bought/installed from the Auto Truck Depot located on 42 Ave near Macleod Tr. http://autotruckdepot.ca/

They have 'miniature models' in their showroom if you want to check out the differences between the products. To me the undercover is actually better than the Bakflip, and for less. But thats just my opinion

The only thing I liked about my first one (that sat on the box) was that it allowed that extra inch of clearance, we use a lot of totes when we go camping, some of the big ones that used to fit in my old truck don't any more. Not a huge issue, just had to buy new totes. I cant say the "not flush" look ever bugged me, but thinking about it now, the flush does look better.

Looks like a lot of love for the Undercover Flex.

InRich and I ended up going to see Tom @ Auto Truck Depot and he gave us a great deal on covers. InRich went with the BAK Revolver X2 and I went with the Undercover Flex. Install was a breeze and it does really look good.

I ordered a Tonno Pro lo roll from Parts Engine, came in about 3-4 days but they didn't include the utility track brackets as I have the Pro 4x rail system, says on the box it was included and when I contacted them they had to order me some in special order, which took 3 weeks. I got 4 brackets a couple of weeks later in the post, didn't fit right so I sent the whole thing back to Parts Engine and got a refund by cheque even though I paid by visa. (I had to pay $30 to ship it back)

I ordered a BakFlip G2 for a touch over $800 from the automotive parts guy here at the college.

Where did you get the bed liner? I know you mentioned it somewhere but I couldn't find it.

^ I went to Tyro Coatings off of Deerfoot & McNight, I got their silver (40lbs of Polyurethane) liner. Website says $650 but if you call I'm sure you can get a better price than that. I thought they did good work, no overspray (that I can see) and they did a good job masking everything off.

I use to have a RollnLock on my old cummins, I had to keep a propane torch behind the seat to thaw it in winter, any kind of ice build up rendered it useless.

So, with the undercover.. if you're gonna lean it against the truck, there are 3 little screw heads on the cover. You might want to put some rubber pads over them to prevent them from marking the truck.

There are some members that secure the cover upright but not leaning against the truck right?
