My dad wants to put a roll up tonneu cover on his 05 f350. The kind that rolls up like a garage door and I was just wondering which ones you guys would recomend. Thanks, Frank

p.s. I was kind of looking at this one for him anyone have one of these what do you think of it. Its hard to compare them without actually seeing them.

I had a Roll-n-Lock for years on 2 trucks. Nice, but "pricey". If you live in a climate with snow & ice, they will freeze up, and you will have a hard time to get it open. It does have a far better "security" factor then the vinyl covers. If I did it all over again, I would go with a vinyl over that rolls up with the ribs. They seem to stand up well to the harsh Wisconsin weather, and a fraction of the cost of a "roll up" cover.

Good luck.

the P/O put a roll-n-lock on my truck when i bought it from the dealer back in 2006. Say the only problem i had with my roll-n-lock was the screws that attach the cover to the spring loaded drum inside all stripped out, all i had to do was take it apart, preload the spring in the drum again and put new screws in. I took it off my truck last spring though because most of the time i had it rolled up anyways and with the shortbeds being so short anyways it takes up a decent amount of bed space. Which then i moved to our place we're renting this year, and i don't have a garage or shed, so i got a toolbox now for all my tools and straps. Needless to say a toolbox took the place of my Roll-n-lock. Good product though. worked great, and it's one of them that also locks against the tailgate too so now one can get into the bed.

 

thanks for the info anyone else? recomendations on which ones are better? thankyou
