Specs:
The UltraGroove Metal is a retractable hard tonneau cover with integrated T-slots in the rails that allow you to add a roof rack or ladder rack to your vehicle. This enables you to carry kayaks, bikes, and other sports and recreation gear while leaving your bed free for more items. The cover's heavy-duty aluminum panels help protect your cargo from theft, and the enhanced weather seals ensure your gear stays clean and dry.
Retractable Cover with Built-In Pull Strap

The UltraGroove retracts with one turn of a handle. The handle - located underneath the rear plate of the cover - activates a heavy-duty tension spring. This spring automatically retracts the cover into the canister at the bulkhead of your truck bed. A built-in pull strap helps you extend the cover over your bed. As you pull, the handle will unlock and the cover will engage the side rails at 12" intervals.

You can stop the cover at these designated intervals if you need to carry tall or long items that overlap your tailgate while still covering cargo, such as a toolbox, stored closer to the bulkhead of the truck. You can also use the rear plate of the tonneau cover to pull it closed.
Side Rails with T-Slots

The tonneau cover's side rails include integrated T-slots that allow you to mount accessories directly to the cover. This Rail Expansion System (RES) runs the length of the side rails so you can positon your accessories - such as a ladder rack or roof rack - to accommodate different-size loads. This enables you to haul sports and recreation gear above your bed without interfering with the operation of the cover. The rails are also compatible with Pace Edwards EL200 ladder rack (sold separately).

These rails have rounded sides and curved endcaps that are sleeker and more streamlined when compared with other slotted tonneau cover side rails.
Angled Canister

The cover retracts into a compact, angled canister located at the front of your truck bed. This canister protects the retracted cover from the elements, and with the cover stored in the canister you'll have unrestricted visibility out of your rear window. The angled design of the canister also allows for maximum useable cargo space in your truck bed.
Enhanced Cargo Protection

The UltraGroove provides more protection from water and debris than many other covers on the market. Its rails feature a water management system that channels excess water into the canister. This prevents water from getting into your bed or freezing in your tonneau cover rails during cold temperatures. Drain tubes attached to the bottom of the canister remove water through the OE drain holes in the floor of your truck bed. Additional drain tubes at the end of the side rails also channel water out through existing drain holes in your truck bed side walls.

The cover side rails have rubber seals on the outside that conform to your truck bed rail caps and keep dirt and water out of your bed. The rails have seals on the inside to create another barrier that protects your cargo from water and dust. There are also endcaps that seal over the top edge of your tailgate to prevent leaking at the corners. Lastly, a large seal at the rear of the bed closes the gap between the cover and your tailgate to shield your cargo from runoff water.
Low-Profile Design

The curved side rails and endcaps sit approximately 1" above the truck bed rails for a low-profile look. This sleek design is aerodynamic to reduce wind drag, and it helps to improve gas mileage when cover is closed.
Heavy-Duty Construction

The cover is constructed of interlocking aluminum panels with a black powder coat finish. A silicon weather hinge creates a tight seal between each panel to prevent water and dirt from entering the truck bed. The cover side rails are also constructed of extruded aluminum with a black powder coat finish.
Security
The UltraGroove provides excellent protection for your cargo when used in conjunction with a closed and locked tailgate. Both the handle and pull strap are located underneath the rear plate, which makes them inaccessible when your truck bed is closed. The durable aluminum panels are better at preventing theft when compared with soft covers that can be cut or punctured with a knife. The panels are also more effective at preventing theft than a tri-fold hard tonneau cover because the panels cannot be pried open at any point along the rails.
No-Drill Installation
To install the cover, set the canister in your truck bed and support it with a box or other sturdy object. Slide the cover side rails into the canister until they are fully seated in the rail grips while also threading the cover into the channels in the rails. Secure the rails to the canister with bolts and washers.

Attach the rails to the canister, then secure the rails to your truck's bed rails using 2 clamps per side. Slide the clamp onto the rail, flip the pivot arm up so it is under the bed rail lip, and tighten the clamp in place. Shims are included for trucks with tapered beds.
Each clamp at the tailgate end of the rails has a supplemental kickstand to help level the rails and prevent overtightening during installation. To install the kickstand, simply slide it into the grip handle at the bottom of the clamp. Rotate the kickstand so the foot rests squarely against the side wall of the truck bed, and tighten in place.
Mount the top cover plate to the canister with the included hardware. Install 2 drain tubes to the rear of the rails and 2 drain tubes to the canister. Route each tube out of the OEM drain holes in your truck bed.
To hold the pull strap off the floor of your truck bed, apply the adhesive hook-and-loop fastener strip onto the underside of a rail at your desired location.

Product arrived earlier than expected, no damage as packaging was well protected inside. Directions for product were thorough and everything worked as advertised.
Works great, looks great, just what I expected.
Does not work in cold wet weather. Freezes shut when it snows; otherwise, it works alright.
Works great after a year. I did chip the paint on the tailgate end. Fast shipping buy it!!!
Tonneau cover delivered in 2 boxes. Well packaged and delivered in very good time. I'm 69 and installed it by myself in about 2 hours. If I were a little younger or had help I have no doubt I could have installed it in less than an hour. I spent a little bit of time going back and forth to my PC to view an [online] video on the installation. It wasn't really necessary, the written instructions were pretty clear. No special tools required nor special skills. Fits great on my long bed F350. Worth noting; the rails only partially cover the stake pocket holes. If you don't have the snap covers that fit in them then you should probably plan on getting some. I was missing one and ended up using some black Gorilla tape (my truck is black) as a make do until I can get a cover. Only time and usage will tell how well the cover is made but my initial impression is very positive, thus the 5 star rating. I've used etrailer.com before and they also continue to rate 5 stars.
Install went well, product looks sharp and secure. Very pleased!
I had a Pace Edward's Ultragroove soft top on a previous truck. It was excellent. I just bought the hard top version for my new truck. I expect nothing less in quality!
This cover fit my Tacoma well. The installation was straight-forward. After one year of use, it still works well and looks good.
Super sleek appearance, with a locking tailgate, who needs an ugly lock on your cover? The "kick stands" on the clamps make aligning things a breeze.
Perfect fit. Easy to install with the help of their videos. Fast delivery.
Durable, set-and-forget, convenient. Love this tonneau cover. My only complaint about it is that it's very hot to the touch on a Summer day, but otherwise, it meets expectations.
Great tonneau cover -- locks up securely, fits well, doesn't take up too much space, and I still have a ton of options for positioning rack mounts exactly where and how I want them. Took me a little while to get the drainage tubes all positioned and working correctly, but with trial and error it all worked out. Very solidly built. After a full year of hard use outdoors it's in great shape with no fading or corrosion
This cover has all the features you would want in a tonneau cover. The clamps are secure and very sturdy. I had another cover where they used plastic screws to adjust the brackets to the pickup, very flimsy. These brackets are very, very secure on this cover. Best of all a lifetime warrantee! Cover rolls into canister very freely.
This is my second one of these. The first one was 18 years ago and lasted the life of my old truck. A number of my previous complaints have been addressed in this version. It has kickstands on the rear rails and extra drains. The can is smaller and the quality seems as good as the last.
Had one issue with the machining on the LF rail where the grip clamp is supposed to install. The channel’s machining was about 0.020-0.030” less than the rest and required me getting out the mill and matching the dimensions to the others. Hopefully not a big problem for others. Could also file down the clamp’s edge which is easier and shouldn’t cause any issue. Lost about an hour figuring into the problem and making the fix.
They also include little hand hold covers for a Chevy bed but those didn’t seem like they were going to hold up and it took away a good hand hold. I may re-install them or find a better solution if it changes the water tightness since I live in the PNW.
This is just the day 1 post install but I expect this to be excellent like the last and am impressed in the details and fit and finish. The cost of this is high but compared to others the detail work and material quality is very good. Should write a 1year later summary. High hopes for the minus 1 star for the clamp frustration will disappear after use.
Great product and easy to install. Having issues with my automatic tailgate as it hits resistance at the top and doesn’t close (opens back up to prevent crush injury). I have tried to adjust but I think the end cap on the drivers side rail has something wrong with it. The rubber seems different from the other side and it seems to be a little loose.
Very good product. Well made with excellent quality. Only issue I have that the rear seal by tail gate on one side is no longer in the proper position which doesn't seal perfectly. I still love this product and would purchase it again whenever I purchase another pickup.
