Is this sound normal for the most current power tonneau cover? I have nothing to compare it to. Used dry lube as recommended in the tracks but while opening, it doesn't sound right to me. Please advise. Truck is a week old. Thank you. https://quickshare.samsungcloud.com/ehb54btfjvrJ

Not sure about volume but mine sounds like that, maybe not as loud.

Mine sounds the same. It’s a lot quieter and smoother than V1

That doesn’t sound normal. This is what mine sounded like when they replaced it from v1.5 to v2 in December.

I just finally got mine replaced with the latest version a month or so ago - yours is so much quieter than mine.

Had Rivian service take a look and determined the cover is functioning normally with a normal sound. I plan on applying dry lube to the tracks at least once a quarter. I also noticed the rollers attached to the tailgate flap had a white substance caked on that left a residue on the back of the gate. I used rubbing alcohol and armor all to clean and protect the rollers. Originally thought it was cement powder from the factory near the Richmond VA delivery center but was told it was some kind of over spray. Either way not normal.
