Lazer Lite tonneau

[eat111]

Anyone using one? If so, do you recommend it? Any problems. What did you pay for it? Thanks.

have one, fits good,easy to install and if needed to remove. had to paint it, the original powder coat faded after about 9 mos. i got mine thru the group buy.

I agree..I have to use a polish on it occasionally...but I love it. Secure, durable(you can stand on it!), dry, and locks great. Highly recommended

Your comments re the fading of the powder coat concern me. I know a great powdercoating co. do you think that it would be advantageous for me to have it professionally re-powdercoated before I installed it?

i would just get it line-x, probably cheaper and last longer, ill let u know of the sale...

Hey Eat,

That would be cool if you could get that done, but I'd talk to the guy over at Laser-Lite first (he's a great guy, his name is Scott ) , to make sure there's no finish compatability issues.

I'll check that option out. Keep me informed re the sale.

you can't re powder coat it ,because of the way it's built. i had mine looked by a powder caoting co, they said it would destroy it. the top is glued to the inner structure. i would call the guys at lazer lite and ask if they use a different powder coat. i still thinks it's a great cover

Thanks for the info. I will talk to the Lazer Lite people.

I e-mailed the company about the powder coat fading issue and this is the repy that I got back (and yes I asked him if it was OK to post his reply as his response was to me not necessarily a public comment):

"We switched powdercoaters in Feb. and although we pay more for the powdercoating now, the finish is extraordinarily durable. The key difference is going with a huge company that uses a chromate conversion process ($$$). The older powdercoater did just fine, but we wanted a better finish and we are using the same powdercoater and powder and process as the makers of the Minnkota trolling motors (for boats), so we know we are getting a decent finish.

Any “fading” is usually due to the sun combined with dirt and build up within the texture of the powdercoat. I suppose if one waxed the cover upon receiving it, the dirt build up would be minimized?

Anyway…I really like the new powdercoater and they do a great job:

Inserted Note: I had to delete the links to the powder coating company that Scott had here in his e-mail response because they were not allowed by Titan Talk since I have less than 15 posts.

I'm looking to get rid of my fiberglass and get a lazer lite. Group buy would be nice.

And if anyone in FL needs a Galaxy Black fiberglass tonneau, let me know. There's nothing wrong with it, it just came with the truck and I need to take my cover off and put it back on frequently so it's not practical for me.

Thanks for the info. Now I wish I had waited longer to buy my Lazer Lite.
