Some pics of my Bestyll (Made in China) retractable tonneau cover. The cover is offered in both manual and power versions. I considered the power, but I don't open it very often and I was concerned about replacement parts, if needed. I bought the manual version off Amazon for $800 + $64 tax - $200 (opened Amazon Chase charge card) = $664. Ordered 28 Jul, arrived 2 Aug. Packaged well, no damage, missing no parts.
Instructions were sketchy, but it is not rocket science. Some YB'ers claim to do the install solo, but I needed my SIL's help. The toughest part is installing the rails on the canister while getting the slats inserted into the groove on the rails. The entire assembly is then put on the bed rails. the weight of the assembly, awkwardness and height of the bed rails makes it a two person job.
I am happy with the quality and appearance. It performs as well as the factory cover on my Santa Cruz. The auto open tailgate isn't working, mainly because I want the cover watertight. I ran it through the high pressure car wash and I got a little water at the tailgate, but once I seal the tailgate, I think it will be dry.
I really like the mounting system, it is clean and looks good. The one set of clamps have a nice cover over them and the drains fit well and work.
