CS told me they paused shipments again as they were sending them to incorrect addresses. They said they should resume in the next 1-2 weeks and if I didn't have anything by then to contact them again. Frustrating to say the least but I'm going to stop worrying about it and just enjoy it when it comes.

For those of you who received your tonneau cover , i saw a pic online showing a really low quality and beyond poor design of manual covers and im more then sure well designed cover should be able to withstand a shipping in a padded bag inside carboard box; very curious to know your first hand impression on the quality and design, is it very fragile and flimsy or it actually can withstand something's more than leaves and rain falling on to it?

yes, those edges aren't the the most durable material but it should be fine as long as youre not putting anything heavy on top of the cover (i wouldnt stand on it) and you're careful taking it on and off. what im more concerned about is the mechanism to release the latch once its on. that will probably break before one of the edges does.

I really wish they could make one like hyundai santa cruz , that is somewhat inline with their idea but much better execution, or at very least for the premium we pay make a premium quality product not this flimsy crap forced on us.

What’s going on with the delivery of the manual cover? It seems pretty quiet as far as actual deliveries. Are they really being delivered in any volume, or are we back on hold?

I got an email on November 3rd saying mine would be delivered between 11/8/23 and 11/13/23.

Of course no sign of it...

I have to say, this whole tonneau thing is stranger than fiction 😡 No delivery dates, long delivery dates, promised delivery dates that don’t even come close to happening, damaged deliveries - WTF is going on? This just seems so surreal.

I just asked Rivian support chat what was up with these. They couldn't give me a new ETA. Told them to relay some feedback that it would have been better for them to not provide dates at all if they couldn't hit them. Very low trust with any specific or rough date provided by Rivian.

Just got mine yesterday. Put it on this morning.

Was packaged well. Easy install. Looks good!
