Folding Tonneau Cover, Leer Trilogy or Extang Solid Fold 2.0
Dealer has both on display. I want the most water tight cover so that's the priority out of these 2.
Dealer pointed out the differences why he feels the Leer is better. The big thing is that the Solid Fold 2.0 can get dirt in the hinge opening and buckle the top. My previous standard Solid Fold had a buckle on the top near the hinge and now I'm wonder if something got into the hinge and caused that.
The issue I'm worried about the Trilogy is that it uses a molding in rubber interior cover over the hinge to keep it from leaking. I'm worried this rubber will dry out and crack after a few years. There's no way to replace this piece without replacing the panel so it's a big deal.
I don't know how well the Solid Fold 2.0 will keep water out of it hinges. I didn't have real good luck with the previous Solid Fold and makes me gun shy about it.
The Trilogy has built in LED lights in the panel so that's a bonus. I can see a little light through the Trilogies hinges at the corners where the rubber ends, but coworker and dealer assure me it won't leak there.
The Trilogy seems to be nicer and simpler but I'm worried about that rubber seal.
I would like to keep these hard folding covers for security and keeping my hitch and other gear locked up. I'd also like to keep the raccoons away from stuff in there as well. The Raccoons would slash open a soft cover to get garbage or anything else left in the bed of the truck. It would be nice having the hard cover for situations like that.
So what's everyone's take on these 2 covers??
