I believe that is the same cover as the backflip. I noticed when I was shopping for mine that several companies offered the same cover under different brand names.
This was true with tri folds, roll covers, ect.

Among other things, my covers are showing the "white strands" through the black finish just like in your pictures. When new(2 years ago) they were solid black.

I have also managed to tear off all the plastic channel that covers the cables on the under side.

Put some Locktite on the prop rods or they will back off.

There is a thin piece of trim(about 1/2" wide) on top of every joint between panels that slide from side to side allowing water in. I imagine a dap or glue could fix that.
As my tops get older they allow more water in all the way around. A good bit actually.

The rubber seal at the panel joints that lays on the top side of the truck bed are "pooching up" some and that allows water instruction.

I will still buy the same covers on the next trucks. We use(abuse) them hard and I don't know of a cover that will work better and still allow the gooseneck hitch to be easily used.

I also want my chainsaws, nail guns, concrete saw, powered post driver, compressor, skil saws, recips, ect. out of site. You could pop the cover easily with a flat bar, but most thieves are lazy and want low hanging fruit.
