The Rollbak tonneau cover has so many features I could probably
sit here and type all day long about it. I will try to resist
myself and make this short and sweet. The Rollbak truck bed
cover is made by Bak Industries and is one tough tonneau cover.

It is a retractable tonneau cover which retracts into a
canister behind the truck cab. The canister is made of a rugged
ABS which is very durable and with its rounded design is made to
expel water. The average canister is about 8.5 inches in
diameter and some are even smaller which leaves you with an
added space under the canister in the front of the truck bed.
 
The side rails are lined with high density polyethylene which
is even better than Teflon as Teflon freezes. You never have to
grease this, and it will work well in all types of weather. Hot,
cold, wet or dry, this cover is made for all weather.
 
The slats of the rollback retractable tonneau cover are made of
powder coated industrial strength aluminum strong enough to
withstand over 400 pounds. The slats are designed to channel
water to the side tracks and then to the ABS canister and then
out the bottom of the truck through hoses. The way the slats
are designed, even if any water does get through the surface of
the slats, it is still channeled to the side tracks.
 
The system is designed to stop every twelve inches as you close
it so you can close it pretty much anywhere you want. The
Rollbak truck bed cover locks automatically when closed all the
way. There is no visible latch or locking system as it latches
underneath the tonneau cover. You have to open the tailgate to
access the latch for the truck bed cover. Then if you install a
locking tailgate latch your tonneau cover is a very secure
storage area. You can lift or lower the tailgate without moving
the tonneau cover and the stake holes along the side of your
truck bed remain uncovered which is great for any type of rack
you use or tie downs.
 
The powder coat flat paint is a very durable finish which you
can wax as you would the rest of your truck body. The
installation is a no drill clamp system, but many applications
use two self tapping screws at the front inside corners.
 
Listening to testimonials, mostly everyone loved the look and
action of the Rollbak tonneau cover. However they pretty much
all had a problem with the instructions that came with the
truck bed cover. They were pretty vague and conflicted with the
installation video on the Bak Industries website. It seems they
were all able to get through the installation but would be much
faster at it if they had to do it again. Even with the poor
installation instructions they all said it was worth the
troubles once they had it on.
