"Cover is of excellant quality, appearance and operational characteristics. Installation is made difficult by the most confusing instuctions I have experienced. Might have been easier to install with no instructions to confuse what could have been done logically by examining the components, deciding how they fit together, then installing in a rational manner.
Over-all, completely satisfied with the cover"

"I received the cover and embarked on the journey to install it. I read the instructions online a few days earlier and hoped that once I had the item to reference the instructions it would all come together. WRONG!!! There isn't enough detail or detailed pictures. For instance, it tells you there are shims included for your convenience but you're never given any ideas as to where the shims might work best.
Anyway, after 2 hours and many swear words, I was unrolling the cover into the tracks only to find out that the cover was damaged. When I called Auto Anything the next day, they handled the situation quickly and professionally. The damaged cover was picked up the next day and I had the new one a few days after that.
The 2nd installation went quicker, until I tried to install the roll top canister cover. Come to find out, the plastic inserts for attaching the top were not in the package. I called Pace Edwards to complain and was assured that they would be shipped out immediately. Since I had them on the phone, I took the opportunity to voice my displeasure with their instructions. I was told that they would pass my comments on the the "lady" who writes the instructions. That was the moment of my epiphany. THEY HAVE A WOMAN WRITING INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING TRUCK PARTS!!! No wonder 90% of the reviews online complain about the instructions. I've been married 22 years and I still don't understand half of what my wife wants me to do. Have you ever received directions from a woman? I rest my case. Don't get me wrong, women have many things that they excel in, that men fail miserably at. But writing instructions (that will be used by a man)for installing complicated auto parts on a vehicle should not be written by a woman."

"The installation went pretty smooth. The only problem I have is with the lock. It does not want to stay locked. When I'm driving the roll top slides open from the vibration. I know its not istallation error because it's a simple cabinet type lock. Im trying to find something similar that won't come open with vibration."

"Step by step install instruction I used was pretty simple.I am having a little bit of difficulty with fine tuning the latches to securly lock the cover into the closed position.I'll eventually get it right. This cover looks good on my 08 Silverado. I look forward to getting a couple more miles out of every gallon of gas I use."

"The directions are a little disceiving. Once you figure out the side rail conbination, it goes pretty good. The directions never tell you to install the the lock cover before installing the lock cylinder through the fabric. Overall, it's a great product for the money and better than a soft cover system if you don't mind loosing a little bed space."

"The instructions that came with my roll top were for another truck. I had to go online and retrieve the manual for my truck. Four of the pre-drilled holes in the track that were tapped did not align with the rails. Filing was necessary to correct this issue. The key lock linkage interfers with the top channel it fits in and makes it difficult to operate."

"This tonneau cover was a sweet deal!! However, the directions can be a bit confusing. The product is really great. My only negative comment on this product is that the four screws that hold down the roll-top housing could have used better materials. But, a quick trip to home depot, or lowe's can fix that problem. Overall, this product is great, and you get what you pay for."

"I think it is a great value for the money, but the directions could be a little more detailed. It is lacking a brush up front to keep debris
from entering the canister. All in all you get what you pay for. Istill think it is a great value for the money."
