Hi everyone,
After having 2 Bak Revolver Original & x2 covers and 1 Pace Edwards Roll n Lock on previous trucks I was looking for something similar but with a little better side sealing for my 5th Gen DT Rebel with Rambox (CC /5ft 7" bed).
I ended up going with a Tuxedo Sentry Hard Rolling cover, PN: 1584901
There's a few videos going over the details but long story short, I didn't think there where enough latch points along the side rails (3 Total, cab, tailgate & 1 middle) to keep people out of the bed compared to the fully locking sides on the Bak Revolver and Pace Edwards hard rolling covers I've tried previously.
Here's the review and how to videos for adding 2 extra latches per side (5 Total per side).
Add-on Parts:
(4x) 1705926 > Slam Latch ASM_HR
(4x) 1706260 > Cable_Z Pull w/Ball End
(8x) 1706056 > Cable Guide Retainer w/Legs
(4x) 1705929 > End Cap_Latch Cover_Slat_HR
(1x) 1118302 > Bag Hdw_Security Latch Field Repair
