Non Factory Hard Ute Lid

[Fat-Tony]

Anyone had any experience with Flexiglass Challenge?

←

I have seen the flexiglass one, its half arse attempt at trying to make it hang over the sides and you see a black line around the bottom, not real nice at all, much the same as the fit and finish of their trays and fibreglass canopies, half arsed cheap rubbish that falls to bits.

Carryboy to my knowledge have their canopies made in Thailand, finish and fit looks good but I have never had a chance to have a close inspection of it, but having experience in manufacturing in Thailand, the quality could be questionable. So all that could be said about their hardlids, which would be manufactured in the same factory.

Tuff Tonneau's www.tto.com.au is what I what I have on my car (laserback lid). Its a flat aluminium lid which finish is of comparible quality to that of the rest of the car. A nice flat light weight lid that actually opens up higher than the rubbish ford BF items. Comes carpeted underneath and has a single lock in the centre which locks at 3 points. Only downside to it is that it doesnt cover the sides so you can see the part of the tub liner, but it blends in well IMO. Unlike what Trough Lolly said, I don't work for this company I just happen to deal with them.

Hope this helps

Have you looked at the 'roller covers' that are available from Blueys ute world, and also from Quig? The Blueys ones are cheaper $2280, but can't be colour coded. The Quig ones are $3500, but can be colour coded to the car, and have an electric motor to open and shut it.

I'll be going for the blueys one as the price is more reasonable. Any way, something to think about. Any one heard any bad reviews of these covers?

used to have a quig with the electric motor on my previous ute, it became worn really quickly where it wouldnt slide and would have to be pushed by hand as the motor tried to roll it up.

another down side is that they rob you of a fair bit of space in the cargo area, they also have tendency to leak.

Yeah I was wondering what they were like in wet weather. Do they leak a lot? Also are they fairly secure? I heard with the Quig ones that if the motor breaks down when it is shut then you have to take to it with an angle grinder cause there is no other way to open to tray.
