Another subscription as I am in the market, just purchased a new truck
Always owned fiberglass caps and not sure if this would work for my needs, my family is against me getting a cap
Question- this has probably been answered
when panels are folded up, if your load would shift the panels look like they would be succeptable to damage, I guess you could use a cargo bar, although to fully utilize box I would either remove cover or make some type of guard to protect.
what type of longivity does the powder coating give?? seems like everything I've seen coated with powder dulls out after a few years and I know that adhesion can be an issue, especially with aluminum
Thanks

If the aluminum is prepped properly, the adhesion should last.....On my 6 year old cover it was spotty...... thus my reason for testing this new one from Peragon. Install and photos coming tomorrow and after.......
