Who makes the cover for them? It is rebranded…..
“The fact is they are made for us by an expert American company, to our specifications, right here in America.”

Warranty

Do the installation instructions tell you how to deal with the (major) water leaks into the bed through the top of the Swiss-cheese RR trim rails? Thanks,

Hey I said it looked good. And the person who had it on the 150 Raptor said it didn't leak or move around with noise at high speed or wind. I don't won't to be the test pilot to buy one for a Ranger Raptor. But might haha

What made it look good versus the numerous other bed covers? No sarcasm, I’m in early stages of looking at covers.

From what I've heard, the alloy covers can be noisy at high speeds. but maybe weathertech has solved that issue? would be interested to hear from someone who's actually used it.

Don’t want that. Good to know.

I have also looked at a bunch. This one looks solid. And low profile. And light it you need to remove it

Our trucks probably can't handle it without J braces. LOL.

The problem I see with this cover is that the front panel can’t be raised up to the glass to take full advantage of that short bed like the factory folding cover (which is what I have). That feature came in handy a week ago when I picked up a new piece of furniture.

I’m going into this purchase full disclosure that it will leak. I just don’t want it rattling around

I don't have j braces. FYI I just went though a drive though car wash, and yes there was a slight leak. Nit from the cover though. From the tail gate gap, and from the accessories pop out tabs on the rails. Very little though.
