Peragon bed cover

I have a Paragon as well, after two years the black paint is easily stained by trees and bird droppings, more than have of the wheels have seized up, and it’s annoying when something blocks it in the bed, when I’m trying to open it. BUT its better that run plastic or Vinyl hands down..

 

Wanted to weigh in myself for whats its worth. I currently have had one for ~6 months now and so far so good. I have the quick clamps attachments and a Few drawbacks are sometimes the clamps need re-adjustments/tightening. The other thing is the cover is certainly not waterproof (and Peragon does NOT claim to be so) and around the edges of the bed after a rainstorm can get somewhat wet. For the most part its not a big deal but certainly something to note

 

I had one of these for a couple years and will give my two cents on it:

Pros:
- Beautiful finish and fit. Probably one of the best looking covers out there.
- Seals well. None are waterPROOF, but it did well for me.
- Excellent customer service (called them during install).
- Cover is very easy to remove and set aside for extra space.

Cons:
- Makes about 1/4 of your bed useless. I had to end up putting a 2x4 across the back so stuff wouldn't slide to the cab and cause it to not open. Yes, you can remove it, but if you want to fill up your whole truck bed and have it covered, prepare to do some wiggling under the cover to retrieve stuff at the back.
- Can't put anything on top of it. It scratches easily (tree limbs, setting a box on top, etc.). For me (a hunter), i like being able to tie horns and other gear on top of the cover as well. Tried that with the peragon and scratched pretty bad.


So, if you want something that finishes your truck well and gives you a little extra storage space to throw a couple bags in your bed for a road trip, than yes. It's great. If you're looking for a completely covered and accessible bed AND want to tie down/transport stuff on top of it, look at something else.

 

I really like the Peragon, but am concerned with what happens if you need to open it after a heavy rain storm--wouldn't the "accordion" action dump any rain collected on the top right into your bed? At least the folding tops open away from the bed. I have been researching tops that I can use with stake hole racks for my kayaks, and I really want to like this one. I have read some really negative reviews on Amazon, but since Peragon doesn't sell directly through Amazon I realized the ones offered on there are more likely to be defective or used.

 

So you just cut the clamps that came with it to fit in the bed rails? How did it work?

I was thinking of finding some t-nuts that would fit in rail to mount it. I’m considering a peragon but not sure if I want to give up the bed rail.

 

Yes I cut the clamps, safer just to buy T nuts thou. I love mine

 

Any issues with fitment putting it on the rail versus clamping to bedside ?

 

No not at all

 

Has anyone here tried using a cargo divider with their peragon? I’m having trouble finding something that will fit under the rails of the cover, ideally I’d like to get the Toyota oem bed divider that works with the deck system but I don’t want to spend the money unless I know it’ll fit under the peragon
