It can get rained on all day (and has been) with no cave in.The side rails are in 2 from the factory, I believe so you can fold it easily (I often have mine rolled up around the support rails behind the seats).As for the clips, well I haven't used them yet, but I looked the other day, and I have 2 on the left, back, and right.And as for the coming off at speed... mine hasn't come off... and I have had it at some HIGH private road speeds I think that has covered all the critisisms Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/51017-fg-ute-tonneau-covers/page/2/#findComment-761862 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The side rail section that the tarp clips on to is still connected to my ute. Have you already bought a tarp, if not you are welcome to have mine. Not sure if the side rails that you need for it are sold seperately though, Pat might know.cheers, Geoff Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/51017-fg-ute-tonneau-covers/page/2/#findComment-780941 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally $6.38! You'll have to double check on your ute, but from memory you need 20 of them Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/51017-fg-ute-tonneau-covers/page/2/#findComment-780955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
