UPDATED 05Jan2021: I used this for a 1100 mile road trip so I’m just now getting around to the followup. I initially gave it five stars but I have to change it to one. For very specific short term use this is probably just fine since even in the heavy rains of my trip everything stayed dry, but over the course of my road trip it seriously damaged my brand new paint in multiple places. I included pictures of the damage it caused. My local auto-body shop quoted me a minimum of a $1000 dollars to repair the damage since most are down to the body of the truck. If left alone the damage will cost me a lot more later on. The risk of damage to a vehicle’s paint to me far out weighs the benefits of using it.
I put it on at night, and it wasn’t hard to install on my Canyon even with it being placed over my low-pro toolbox. It fit pretty well once I figured out to pull it much farther down on the front end of the bed. Otherwise, you end up covering the tail lights completely. It just felt like it was a bit too long, but probably isn’t. The tie-down straps are adjustable, but I found that when you adjust them to shorter lengths, it leaves a tail that slaps the side of the truck when I drove, so I wrapped the tails around the hook, and it wasn’t an issue. They put a piece of material that helps keep the hook from directly rubbing the paint that hangs down about 2 inches below the canvas. It helps prevent the hook from rubbing or slapping the paint, but I feel it should be a couple of inches longer to help minimize the cord from touching the paint. Even with the cord tight, there is always the possibility of the cord moving across your paint. The only real downside to this product is that it was missing one tie-down strap out of the box, so I didn’t put one on the tailgate that it should have had. I can purchase a tie-down if necessary, though.
