Purchased a soft trifold bed cover for 2022 ssyanyong musso saracen recently its a good price but as the vehicle has a factory fit bed liner its installation is very difficult owing to the liner being inflexible! . Basically a 2 person job to fit it and wouldnt want to remove it completely for large load very often!
I ordered the tri-fold hard tonneau cover for my 2010 Hilux and it arrived a few days later. The packaging was great and delivered when it was scheduled to be. The actual top itself took literally 5 minutes to fit and has transformed the look and security of the load area. Looking at the overall fit, I would agree with Eagle and say it may not be 100% waterproof, but this isn't an issue for me. It will I imagine keep 99% of the water out, but more importantly it is secure.
I haven’t fitted the armadillo roll top as yet but I’m sure it will be great. What I can say is I have purchased a few items now from this company and I must say that there attitude and customer service is excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company to anyone.
The Staff @ Eagle 4x4 are suburb. I have previously purchased items from eagle 4x4 for an old vehicle, Regrettably however I'm a little disappointed with this cover. Firstly, it doesn't really seal around the sports bar which lets rain into the rear bed (but this is minimal, I may need to in future apply black silicone filler to prevent water ingress but would not expect to do this on a cover until year 2). Secondly, the supports which the rear locking bar fits into are weak (aluminium extrusion fitted to an Aluminium cast corner, which relies on 1 grub screw to secure together) the joint itself is ok until any stress is applied (stress from attaching and locking the rear bar, into support/s) and I doubt it will stand 3 years operation, in its current state. (not too sure how to resolve this issue. On a positive note, the fitting instructions were really clear and easy to follow sail cloth is light but durable.
I recently purchased the Eagle 1 Hard Tri fold cover for my 2016 old shape Hilux I received it the following day which was excellent as I only ordered the afternoon before. The service I received was also excellent as I had to call to confirm it would fit my pick up and had a few other questions about the accompanying roll bars which will be a future purchase and they guy I spoke to was very helpful The cover fits well and although not 100% waterproof it has only let in a small amount in a heavy downpour but with some weather strip around the bed rails I have made it virtually waterproof. It is excellent value for money. It is a bit heavier than I thought but it adds to the quality feel of the product I have had to cut my bed liner at the front to allow for the handles to lock down fully but it was a relatively simple job with a dremel.
On the whole, the product is very good and was very well priced. However, I only have one complaint; the cross bar closest to the cabin is too short and keeps dropping out of the side rail. The other two rails are okay, but obviously when the shorter rail drops out, it causes an unwanted rattle and reduces the rigidity of the cover. The rails all have a letter to designate their position, but this rail closest to the cabin is about 10mm too short.
