Peragon or Bakflip?
#181
Two questions how hail resistant are the Peragons I have a 2019 CCLB F350 on order and it doesn't fit in the garage and we tend to get some hail storms here in eastern New Mexico and second question is what type of forum discount does Paragon offer? I have had Truexdo low pros on all my trucks and recently have been having problems with the hook and loop(velcro) not working and telling off on my current one. Customer service with them sucked so looking for a hard cover thats easy to operate.
Our aluminum panels are as dent resistant or more so than the body panels on your F-350. Meaning, if your truck is in hail large enough to damage your Peragon bed cover, your truck will likely be your primary concern.
Thanks! - Heath

I went with a bakflip mx4 for my 18 f250 and was shocked at how many defects it had (lack of qc at the factory level) when i unboxed and installed it. Good thing is that they are sending me another cover to replace this one after sending them photos of all the issues i found with it. I do like how it looks but it leaks quite a bit at the tailgate and at all four corners. Im hoping the replacement turns out better

Water leaks mentioned above are the least of my concerns. We just had a heavy rain storm the other day and one of the middle seams leaks as well which should not leak. I can understand the corner or the tailgate area, but a middle seam is not excusable. The seals on a couple of corners are not cut straight/are to long/do not stick to the cover, one of the hold-down holes is drilled at an angle which caused excessive aluminum shavings to get lodged on the cover when it was packed. This caused scratchs, cuts, and gouges on the outer seal of the cover along a section. The sliding bracket that the hold open rods slide into, cannot slide far enough due to pop rivets not being installed properly (they are not flush on the mounting surface and impede the sliding bracket from traveling far enough). Overall this cover was put together by an idiot. I think I can show my 17month old son how to put this thing together better. If I were bakflip, I would be embarrassed if this left my factory no matter the price. The only positive point is they are sending me a replacement cover, but im not holding my breath on that one passing a typical QC inspection... But hey it looks good installed (from a few feet away)

My first cover from BAK was similar to how you explained yours to be. It looked nice but the "hinges" were miss cut and leaked like a sieve. My dealer had to fight for a replacement, they sent a second or a reject. The panels are convex every screw was crooked as you described. Now when it rains or I wash it the water puddles and just drips through the seams,also the color faded within a year. The nice guy at BAK told me that the guarantee doesn't cover leaks, paint, or quality issues, he hung up when I asked what it did cover. Bottom line I wish you luck, but I tell everyone to look elsewhere.

Hello All,
Well I just purchased a 2019 F-350 Lariat yesterday and almost purchased the tonneau cover from the dealer.. But I'm sure glad I didn't after reading what you all had to say about the BakFlip cover and the Peragon cover.. I never even heard about the Peragon and checking out the website I think I'm going to go with them instead. Are there still any special offers... I like the no drill install.

We do have a special offer for forum members. If you email our team at sales@peragon.com with the name of this forum and your member name, they will enter your email address to receive the forum offer code. You could also order by phone and provide the same information during that process to have the offer applied to your order.
Thank you! - Heath

With being on a fixed budget (kids = $$$ and currently in between employment) I am curious if the discounts make a dent into the overall cost or the peragon. Been looking at it for years now and since I have the time to install, I want to bite the bullet and go for the purchase now. I know I really need to have some kind of security as some of my tools and my kids bike was stolen while sitting in my private driveway in NYC.
Now with spending money on the stolen items, I need to try and prevent the same thing from happening.
I know it might not be allowed to post details on the forum but anyone with some feedback and info can email me at joechoi74@gmail.com. Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer my question.
