Alot of motor journalist don't like them. I'm thinking about getting them installed on my ute. I know they're expensive. I just want to konow what Ford fans think of them.Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK the one thing they have over the standard hard cover is that they can open (tilt) further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the options on the cover (bars & spoiler) its just too busy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hard cover just made the tray useless and heavy (especially for bikes) and, at the time, you couldn't have the sports bars which make the utes look complete. What does look crap are hard covers with spoilers In my opinion, nothing looks better or tougher on a Falcon ute than a custom fitted tonneau (the Ford ones are crap and don't fit properly) and sports bars.

And not like the BA hardcovers that could be removed more easily.With you on the wings - bit too over the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1QWKF6 Member 166 Member For: 17y 9m 16d Posted 19/04/07 07:13 AM Share Posted 19/04/07 07:13 AM The 3 piece hard cover (with bulge) and sports bar is also very hard to see over when reversing. I have ordered this option on my SP Ute and with the spoiler attached, it does make it compulsery to fit a reversing camera if you are a shorty. It's fine for me as I am tall but others I know who have this option have difficulties. I think it looks horn, but each to there own. It's not everyones cup of tea, but if it floats your boat then go for it. Regards Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one with the bulge and wing. I don't particularly like it. I'm am keen at getting the one with the sportsbar (no wing). Do you guys know whether it's easy and possible to take the hard lid off the ones with sportsbar. Edited 19/04/07 07:22 AM by alpha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
