    You should add a velcro of some sort that can be attach to water proffing foam that is leak proof for water proffing so rain/water wont get inside the trunk bed. 🤓👍🏻

  • @FireBosspilot
    @FireBosspilot Год назад +3

    The most common observation in testing is the water infiltration through the forward edge along the box where it meets the cap when raining, also watched a video when a fellow road in the back while someone drove, lots of water coming through the top rear door window. A lot of their items had moisture on them from these 2 entry points. Kind of concerning for what you pay for these..

    Thank you for the demonstration. I am considering a Flated for my truck. I have a 2014 F-150 SuperCab.
    My question: For a solo female truck camper like myself, how might the Flated truck cap be secured for safety? I am able to lock a traditional truck cap when sleeping in the back but how might I do so with the Flated? Thank you! I do have other safety measures which I will not disclose online but mechanically speaking, is it possible to attach a locking mechanism?

    • @FLATED
      @FLATED  Год назад +1

      Well there is not a way at the moment to completely lock it, but windows are tinted to the point where you can't see inside. That said its loud enough getting into that your would have time with your other safety measures!

    $800 or $1000. That's what it would be worth to me. Maybe. They leak. No real security not even fake security. At least with a hard top you have to dixk with some locks even if it only takes a minute that is a minute of suspicious activity as opposed to lifting a flap.
    I would only pay $800 to $1000 for the convenience of that product.
    Pros. Quick easy. Keeps your stuff mostly dry and out of the sun. Smooths airflow over small trailers.

      Thank you for your thoughts on the pricing, but its not possible for us to make them for that. You can compare to Quality inflatable paddle boards and white water rafts to get an idea of how much the material costs. Our toppers use more material and are much more complicated to make.

However, That is my (opinion on my value of needing a topper) price point and why. I am instead going to waste even more money and time to make my own (aluminum) in an attempt to get what I want for less knowing that I will probably spend more than if I just bought one.
