Best bang for the buck
Great value, you can't beat the price for what you are getting. . This is the second one of these I've bought for various trucks, and am buying a third for my father-in-law's new truck. The other one I currently own is going on 2 years with no issues, fading, cracking, seal issues, or hinge issues. Installation is stupid easy, which frankly, some I've had in the past have been a hassle to get to lay on correctly and require the addition of camper tape to the front or similar adjustments. Water tightness is on par with other soft tri folds I own, not perfect, but certainly within reason. .Only complaints is the texturing on the vinyl is a little much for my taste, but that's subjective, and checking the front clamps for tightness a bit after you've installed and been down the road a few miles should be in the instructions, not major just allows the tonneau to slide a bit from where it should be and only had to adjust one time.

Gator Roll Up Tonneau Cover 2019 GMC Sierra
This is my second Gator cover. My first one is on a 2019 Toyota Tacoma. This one is on my current truck. I like that it is made in the USA. The video makes it look like a five minute instillation. Maybe the guy does them all day, IDK. I'm semi-mechanically inclined. The instillation took me about 30-45 minutes. I usually check everything twice prior to the final tightening of all hardware. It is a very nice cover. I recommend it to anyone thinking about getting one for their pick-up.

Great so far
Straightforward install. Socket and screw driver required. Sleek design. Looks great. Waiting on a rainy day to determine it's performance. A little tricky to line up, I'm a perfectionist. Directions are too wordy and leave out important factors like rail alignment... Trial and error. 2025 GMC Sierra. I do see small gaps at the bulkhead corners but I have bed rails & spray-in liner. Once the rubber heats up and flattens more I'll add weatherstripping if needed

Best Cover for the Price
2025 Silverado RST install. The cover installed fairly quick and was easy to understand the instructions. The bed stays mostly dry during rain storms which is why I needed this. My main issue is that the cover flaps in the wind while driving and holds puddles of water when it rains. Probably just inherent with soft covers but it does bother me. I still believe this is a great value for the price.

Nice cover for the money
Easy to put on, I had help. Put some protectant on it and it should last awhile.It looks great on my truck.

Great product with 1 Hiccup
Ok, let's go over this cover. Arrived 1 day ahead of schedule, so that was great! The construction seems sturdy, and the material is thick enough to last some time.Installation is pretty straight forward, as they have a video available right here on this listing! It's light enough that 1 person can install this as it only requires lifting it across the front of the bed. At worst case, just set it in the bed and place it from there. Placement went simple enough. Not rocket science here. I've seen some folks post that they didn't like that it didn't follow the contours of the new style beds. I have no complaints. Front latch hooks are easy to install, just don't over tighten them. You could possibly warp the cover rails. The instructions can be a bit vague about this. When they say to tighten til the clamp touches the bed rails, do they mean snugly? And then 2 full turns. I did mine snugly, then 2 turns. Please note, in the Written Instructions included, they have a warning! If you have a bedliner, or a rail cover (as the 2019 models do), to ensure the clamps are tightened to the metal bed, and if required, to cut a small piece out of the liner/rail cover to allow proper clamping to the metal bed. It clearly states this. Otherwise, the cover will eventually blow off! I see this has already happened in the comments.The front latches. Here's where the hiccup came into play. As you see in the photo, even with the cover fully forward, the aft latches will only connect to the Bed Rail cover. They needed to be moved back to connect to metal. Uh Oh. Quick call to Gator, and Jake answered promptly. Explained the situation, he asked for some photos which I sent. They also answered promptly here on Amazon. You can actually move these latches to any position. With the following steps as indicated in the photos.1) Fold the back section. If you look at the clamp You will find a self tapping screw. If you remover the screws from both sides, you can slide the latch/bar assembly.At this point, note that Gator stated you can disassemble that entire section. Then flip it over and have easier access. I took the lazy way out as I didn't feel like fighting with the cover. It's like ultra high strength weather stripping which is a pain.2) loosen the screws all the way out with a long Phillips. Not an easy task, but persistence pays off. Note the the assembly still will not slide until the screws are fully removed. This created an issue as there is absolutely no room to get to them, except the bottom. So....3) jury rigged a tool using an old set of feeler gauges, drilled a hole in the end large enough to fit the screw, but small enough not to slip over the screw head. Put a bend in it, and slipped it under the assembly. A little pulling and turning of the screw and it pops right out.5) I marked original position of the assembly, then slid it forward a whole section length. Checked for fit. It engaged the metal bed rail, but was touching that metal hump, so I slid it another 1/4 inch.6) Marked center position where the screw goes into slot. Checked where original screw hole was. Moved assembly out of way.7) Drilled a couple of tap holes. Probably best to put the screws in and tighten them just to break in the new holes.8) Slide the assembly into place aligning that bracket slot with your mark for the new hole.Now, that screw will not fit in that slot. It goes in underneath, so I used that home made tool to hold the screw til I could get it started. It is a pain. I'm not sure if they are even necessary as some folks state that theirs slide freely from the beginning. I can't see them needed for strength, as there's really no tension on the latches when closed.All in all totally pleased with the cover and the support that was given. I'm not sure if it was a glitch at the manufacturer, or a change Chevy made with the bed. Regardless, the issue was solved.

Received incorrect or mismatched parts
The media could not be loaded. Cover length is not as described, waiting for support to respond to me. I installed everything, super easy to install as long as you follow the instructions, but once it was time to pull and close the cover, there was a 2 inch gap between the retractable cover and the retractable cover housing. The tracks are the correct length of my truck but I think they sent me the wrong length cover when they pieced together my kit. Emailed Gator support 3 days ago and no response yet. If this kit was the right size, my review would talk about how it’s the best bang for your buck on Amazon, this isn't my first retractable cover, I’ve owned many, aside from the HUGE issue I’m having this product is solid.

Great product for the price.
So far so good, Just installed took about 25 minutes to install. Luckily I didn’t really have to do any adjustments once I mounted the rails, if adjustments are needed probably can take anywhere from 45-60 minutes. Please note this was my second cover the first cover I received the box was damaged and when opening the box the vinyl had a small tare. Had a replacement sent through amazon the replacement was in much better condition box was perfect as well. Was not missing any pieces as some reviews had mentioned. Install went very smoothly. Time will tell if this product will last but for the price difference if I can get 2 good years out of this cover I will be quite happy.
