I just installed a gator etx roll up today. Took me 45 mins. And I'm overly impressed with it for the price of $200.
Feels strong and secure, it flimsy at all.

I watched a YouTube video on how to install it and was ready to go.

I just installed a TonnoPro LR-2055 LoRoll, took 45 minutes as well, but mostly because we were dumb enough not to trust the instructions :D Could have done it in 20 minutes. Very sturdy, looks good.

Yes, Easy install and water tight so far, I did seal the rear stake hole covers before I installed the cover. You can purchase the stake hole caps from Amazon

Typical Florida weather, summertime rain storms, some can be accompanied by gusty winds. Still no problem

Just installed the Tyger T1. I ordered the open-box, like new option for $160 on Amazon. I agree with everyone else, easy install and looks/operates great for the price. I took some pictures and noticed the front corners will need some additional foam tape to completely seal but the sides look pretty tight. 19095821-9588-4FFD-ACC0-C4C97677929D.jpeg AB10B6FC-D1FA-4FDB-937F-25F2D981B1FE.jpeg D46805A8-3A3F-407B-9A9D-EC7A8028AFBF.jpeg 1C115D9E-0BDC-4D81-9169-5183D34078A8.jpeg 89AC2CC6-A358-43B3-8CC0-C1218C072D67.jpeg

I have the gator etx. Purchased it for $160 a few months ago. My truck sits outside and has had several heavy Georgia rains. It has kept the bed dry parked up hill and down. I would recommend it. Also looks very sleek. I also purchased uv protectant spray just to prevent fading. 7DC7EE14-22DE-4346-A53C-248D81695AFA.jpeg

I wanted to revive this thread in case anyone else is wondering. I’ve had both the tyger and gator roll up tonneau covers. No question in my mind that the gator for the extra $20 is the better cover. I just installed it tonight and it seems like a much higher quality product than the tyger

I put on the Leer Roll-it-up and it's been water tight. Naturally I didn't follow the directions the first time like a donkey, then had to redo it. Been on a few weeks and it's doing well so far

I installed the Gator Etx about three months ago. It has been great so far with the exception of having to re-tighten the brackets last week.
