Anyone have recommendations on a decent quality water-resistant bed cover/tonneau?

I've been through 2 BAK Revolvers and loved them, but both have lasted only a couple of years. This most recent one was my fault: I tried to close it over a standing propane tank and it separated a joint. From there the glue started giving way, particularly on hot days. It's held together with gorilla tape now until I can find the right replacement.

I target shoot weekly and like to keep paper and cardboard IPSC targets in the back and would prefer something that keeps the bed reasonably dry over almost other feature. The BAK was pretty good in that department, but if I knew heavy rains were coming, I'd move all of my targets inside. A "gully washer" or the car wash always got a puddle back there. I don't need it to stay bone dry. It's not as if I'm trying to protect blueprints or anything; targets get holes punched in them and thrown away but too much moisture does warp them.

I bought this one on Amazon - aluminum retractable cover, easy setup and installed myself. only help I needed was the my wife on the other side to lift the assembly onto the bed. They also make a electric retractable but not needed really in the small bed

Water drains through tubes to the side holes in the bed

I have a EGR Rolltrac. If you want the best OEM quality. That's the one to get. It can also handle the most tested weight at 700lbs on the Tslots.

Cheapest one on Amazon is working fine for me for the past year.

Car washes, rains, winter...

Love the seller's name - WHALEMOTOR.

I figured, at least get something to keep the wifes groceries in the back on the freeway, and upgrade later...

Been fine this whole time, just as nice material as my Truxedo on my Ram too.

Rotten whale meat comes to mind.

That's an epic thread.

My Bestop Black Diamond Tonneau cover has been water tight for over 5 years. It also came with a limited lifetime warranty, but I see they changed their warranty to 5 years for Twill and 3 years for Black Diamond.

And then there's the failure of the factory support tube endcaps, but the pvc endcaps fixed that.

Does best top make the Mopar one? Curious because I read that they make the soft tops.

I had a Diamondback HD cover that worked great, but I can no longer recommend them. I have had two of them. The first was really good and held up great. By the time I bought the second one in 2023, their quality had gone down tremendously. The fit and finish was no longer what you would expect from a $2000+ bed cover.

I've had the Tyger brand on my '22 since week one, it's been solid through, car washes, toad chokers on the interstate, heavy snow. It doesn't seal tight to the front of the bed, they give you an extra strip of foam strip, but I didn't use it and I've only noticed a few tiny drips inside. I'd highly recommend it, it's a good price point too.

This has worked great for me.

I'm another Tyger roll up user. Since 2020 with no issues. I bought it before they had a specific one for the Gladiator. This one is for an earlier model Colorado. Haven't had any issues with the bed getting wet.
