Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover: A Solid Investment for Your F-150 I recently installed the Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover on my 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning with a 5.5-foot bed, and I'm thoroughly impressed. From the initial purchase to the final installation, the experience was excellent. Seller and Shipping: The seller's communication and service were top-notch. They maintained consistent contact, providing reassurance and offering assistance if needed. Shipping was prompt and the product arrived in excellent condition. Installation: Let's be clear: this is definitely a two-person job. The sheer size and weight of the cover, combined with the detailed installation process, necessitate teamwork. The instructions and accompanying videos were helpful, but required careful attention. I found that pausing and rewatching the video instructions, especially during crucial steps, significantly aided the process. A well-organized workspace and a patient helper are essential for a smooth installation. Remember to remove all the shipping material from the inside of the rails and cover. Product Quality and Performance: The cover itself is exceptionally solid and feels incredibly premium. It's noticeably heavier than expected, which speaks to its robust construction. The matte black finish looks fantastic and complements the truck's aesthetics perfectly. So far, the cover has proven to be completely waterproof, even after several rainstorms. The included drain pipes for the tailgate area are very long, requiring some potential trimming to fit perfectly, but they do their job. Pros: Premium Quality: Heavy-duty aluminum construction feels durable and looks great. Waterproof: Effectively keeps the truck bed dry in rainy conditions. Secure: Retractable design provides excellent security for your cargo. Aesthetic Appeal: Low-profile matte black finish enhances the truck's appearance. Excellent Seller Communication: Responsive and helpful customer service. Cons: Installation Complexity: Requires two people and careful attention to instructions. Drain Pipe Length: The included drain pipes may need to be trimmed for optimal fit. Overall: Despite the somewhat involved installation, the Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover is a fantastic product. Its premium build quality, waterproof performance, and sleek design make it a worthwhile investment for any Ford F-150 owner. If you're looking for a durable and stylish tonneau cover that provides excellent protection for your truck bed, this is an excellent choice. Just be prepared for a two-person installation and take your time with the instructions

I bought the Bestwyll retractable cover for my F150. It was by far the best deal for a retractable bed cover. Some reviews said the directions aren’t clear. I’d say that’s somewhat true but if you watch a video of it being assembled you’ll be fine. I put it together and installed it by myself in about an hour and a half. It fits perfectly, works great, and looks awesome. I’m very happy with the purchase and would recommend it for anyone looking for a cover for their truck bed. One thing to note, I used the brackets that attached to the attachment points in my truck bed. You’ll have to buy those self-tapping screws separately. And I needed to use my hammer drill to get those screws in. But once that was complete the cover was rock solid.

So, where to begin? This was definitely an interesting install and it almost became overwhelming. If this is your first retractable Tonneau cover, as soon as you open the box and read the instructions all the way through, then watch the INSTALLATION VIDEO in the description. The set of instructions I received was apparently the old set and a new one was being processed, but where the print falls short, the video helps clarify it. The biggest thing I struggled with was which bed-mounted support went where. I immediately contacted customer service and they responded with a few hours. And through some back and forth messages, which were responded quickly each time, I was able to figure continue. There are two styles and the printed directions are very difficult to understand which went in the front and and which in the rear. As far as left and right, that is easily discernible as they labeled them “L” and “R” respectively. Maybe label them “LF” for ‘Left Front’ and so on? Either way, once you get passed that, it was pretty simple other than closing the tailgate. The first install wouldn’t allow my tailgate to auto close, meaning it’s an assisted up/down tailgate. It would hit the bed cover and go back down. Again, I contacted customer support, responding with a few hours, and recommended I try adjusting the rear mounting brackets upwards a little, which honestly makes sense, doh!, and it worked perfectly! All in all, I’m really impressed with the cover, it slides well, covers well and looks great! Another change I would make is to make the locking mechanism auto catch in the closed position. At present, you have to turn a knob in order for the latches to catch for the cover to stay in the closed position. I would still recommend this cover! Can’t beat the price or the quality of the material and they have FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE! Which I feel is a declining trade now a days. Just buy it, read/watch the instructions and you too can have a great Tonneau Cover!

I have a 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning (5.5 foot bed), and needed a dry, secure solution that worked well with the power lift gate. I found another F-150 Lightning owner recommended this product, so I gave it a try. Almost 3 months later, I'm very happy with my decision. The biggest weakness is the instruction manual. It's poorly written and difficult to understand what it wants you to do at some points. I watched a few youtube videos of this and similar products to get a better understanding of how it's supposed to go together. You should also have two people when installing since it is too large and heavy when assembled for one person to lift. It also helps to have a second person when making fit adjustments (for those with power lift gates), since you want it to be as loose as possible against the tailgate while still providing a good weather seal. The bed cover was very nicely packaged and came with no damage, and no missing parts. Installation requires no drilling, except through two plastic plugs for the drainage tubes to pass through. They include the drill bits too. If you don't want to drill you can just pop out the plastic plugs, but drilling gave it a clearner look. I opted to not install the side clamps on my short bed and relied only on the four box link attachment points (you can still mount the box link plates on top of the provided hardware). If you ever decided to use the rail feature, you would proabably want these side clamps, though. Once installed, I found the product has very good build quality, and good fit and finish. It effectively secures the bed and keeps the inside dry. I found it self-retracts even in the winter with a little snow on top (my biggest concern was how it will do in the winter, and I'm happy to say it does well). It has settings to allow it to open part way or all the way. There's a long tether so you don't have to climb into the truck to close the cover. Best of all, the power rear tailgate still closes with this bed cover, you just have to make the necessary adjustments after installation. Customer service also appears to be on the ball, is responsive, and helpful. Overall, I'm happy with my decision. The bed cover looks and functions great.

I'm very satisfied with the Bestwyll truck cover. If you are mechanically inclined you can easily install it, if not you may struggle with it. Set aside a couple of days without anything else to do. I installed the brackets one evening, put the cover together another, and finally installed it on the truck on the 3rd day. The instructions are OK but not great. The small parts (bolts and fasteners) were labeled very good. It also came with drill bits and tools, everything you need to install it. The cover works great, looks so much better than the fold up kind. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the quality and I got it at a great price too!

I love the way this heavy duty aluminum cover looks and functions. It is a direct fit to my 2019 F150 and I can certainly vouch that it helps the truck to be more fuel efficient. I drove it around following same path from other times and the gas needle barely moved other time it would take 1/4 tank this alone is worth adding the cover. I love the LED light and how smoothly it retracts and locks. The instructions are not that good but if you watch the videos from different people before installing it will make it easy. Important note that originally through me off was the alignment of the bed cover naturally starts wide from the rear bed door during install toward the back window. You might think the bed cover is not squared because of this but that is the design and if you watch plenty of videos you will this but not really mentioned. You definitely need two people for installation. So far I’m happy will see how long it lasts and if the paint does not fade out with the sun too quickly.

Got this for my 2017 Ford F150 to replace a heavy and worn tri-fold bed cover. I needed something that is easier to open & close and this 'fit the bill'. It is a very well made quality product that not only looks well but works well. Decided to attempt to install it myself in spite of several reviews stating that the directions were poor. I found the direction good and easy to follow. I also found installing it myself was a mistake and I needed a second person to assist. It took two of us over three hours to complete the job. Having been through it once though, we feel we could do it again in a much shorter time so if you're handy, it probably won't take you so long. Watching the video three or four times was definitely helpful to understand the process. I am pleased with the results and highly recommend this retractable truck cover.

The locking mechanism is poor quality and never turned well from the beginning. It is definitely not sturdy enough for the weight of the cover. The lock itself is small and you could hardly get it to latch without pulling the heavy cover forward. It was a struggle for me. I don't have the strength to pull down and latch the other style and this looked a lot easier. The seller tried to blame it on installation. My husband installed it and he's a mechanical working man and says it was level. I've had to leave the cover open now for a while because there's no way to latch it. The corner is only holding on by a piece of rubber tubing. It was very hard to get support for replacement parts. After multiple pictures and requests, the seller said they were sent but the necessary rail never arrived. After months of requests for help and a bad review, we finally got it warrantied. I had to promise to change my review tho'. So yeah, you'll get help if you keep at it.... However, No follow up to see if we received the new one, unclear if they will warranty the new one & feeling anxious about installing the new one. I'll probably take a big loss, sell this one and go to a topper. It makes me sad because I wanted to keep the sportier look a tonneau gives. Oh, and it takes up a lot of room in the front on the bed to store the cover. Sorry, a great concept, but not a great product. Update; the new tonneau was installed and seems to be working properly. I still don't lock it, but it fits snug enough to the tailgate, it would be a chore to get it open because you have to pull it slightly forward to unlatch it.

Takes a bit to assemble and install but seems to be an awesome product!!

Have had lots of covers over the years in my truck but this one by far is the best. Takes a little time to install, but once on was Best cover I've ever had!!!!!!!
