    Very happy with the Pro X15. Just put it on about 30 min ago and I’m loving the look!! Thanks to everyone in the thread for the info!

    Couple of questions:
    - Did anyone else have to trim the side locking handles to clear the rear bed track? Mine wouldn’t sit flush in the side bars because the slide/locking handles were hitting

    - I’m assuming the tensioner adjustment will get some of the ripples out? Or will they eventually come out?

    - how tight should the cover be when locking it? I can’t tell if mine is too tight or too loose

    Looks really good!

    - As for the locking handles, they are pretty snug to get on. They will be easier over time.

    - If you adjusted it accordingly, it will be taught front to back. As for the sides, you need to pull the cover and press it down on either side to get the ripples out. And the cover will set with heat and cold over time.

    - Oh, and this too will help it fit nicely.

    thanks for the info! I’ll make sure it’s adjusted correctly.

    What am I looking at specifically in that pic?

    I am thinking of getting this one as well. The lifetime warranty is attractive. Any downsides to it?

    I’m still in the honeymoon phase but so far I’m extremely happy with it

    The clamps don't sit flush allowing the rails to sag in towards the bed. The spacers allow the clamp to bit equally and make the rails perpendicular thus tightening the cover.

    I’m just gonna day I’m
    Happy with my Amazon-bought Tyger tonneau covers. Year two for my 1796 and bought a second one for my SR5. Holding up well, no leaks, and I leave mine outdoors all year. $190 well spent
