Just wanted to update my last post. Diamondback rush shipped me a new cover, it took just over a week to build and arrive. I got it installed and the old cover sent back. It's a bit of a pain to have to reinstall and ship one back, but they did everything they could to make it as easy as possible to repack and ship the old one. The new cover seems to be working fine, no more safety catch issues. Hopefully they have this straightened out going forward. While it's never fun to have a problem with a product, their customer service is top notch!

This may be a ridiculous question. Do you have to pop the back up to just open the tail gate?

Lock are manual, no integration with locking tailgate?

Tailgate opens and closes without popping the rear panel. It doesn't integrate with the truck's locking tailgate. Both panels have an independent, manual lock (same key).

Did my Diamondback foil a break in?

I notice a huge scrape in between the bed and the body. The cover doesn’t contact the body at all.

Could someone have tried to use a crowbar to force it open?

It kind of looks like they tried. They must have thought you have something valuable under that cover.....

I noticed the tool box was preventing the locking rods for clearing and closing properly. Some plywood 2x4 scraps solved that by pushing out both walls of the tool box.

It also doubles as a barrier to prevent water from slipping under the cover and getting into the bed.

Also as a consequence of the locking rods not clearly properly I had damaged the plastic end covers. I emailed Diamondback support and they sent a priority envelope with 2 replacement covers for free.

You can access the tool box just fine with the HD cover, I don't see how the 270 cover improves over that.

Hey everyone,

I am leaning more and more towards a Diamondback cover for the bed, and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them and running a bed extender at the same time. It looks like the center crossmember of the diamondback goes right in the middle of the bed, so it will be cutting it close, but if both could be ran at the same time it looks like I will have made my decision.

Any insight is appreciated!
