I should knock on wood - my tonneau still works perfectly. (Although a recent load of bark dust has gotten something stuck somewhere that it makes a nasty scraping noise as it retracts.) Hopefully all the bugs in the new mechanism (and the install process) get worked out before mine needs the fix.

(And no, I have never lubed it, either. I like to live on the wild side, baby!)

Finally got the call to bring the R1T to the Phoenix SC for the new and improved power tonneau cover. Scheduled for 12/12.
Congrats! I hope I get the same call from the Phoenix SC soon! I filed a ticket in 6/2023, although mine still sort of works. The last slat gets caught and won't fully retract about half the time.

Maybe I'll text my contact up there and give them a nudge :)

Looking forward to hearing how the new one works for you! Again, congrats!

I just did some eavesdropping on a technician meeting at the Denver SC while picking up my truck— the manager was saying they’re getting ready to start doing them in bulk, they expect to do 5-6/day, and they’re trying to hire contractors to do them as a mobile service

Got my call today!! Getting mine fixed in 2 weeks in San Jose, CA.
Same for me, replacement on the 14th in SJ.
Cover was disabled March 2023. I sure hope this works with some level of robustness!

I don’t know how the new cover is different. I’ve heard rumors of two motors.

My name is Mike, and I have a (car) problem
My truck goes in tomorrow - I’ll update after intake and/or getting it back.

Please cross fingers, toes, etc. Light some incense. Say a prayer. Sacrifice a chicken (but only if you eat it - I have standards). Etc.

Well … it’s in the shop, and parts were pulled. If the app is to be believed, they might be done with the Tonneau portion? But I can’t say for certain since the new Service Status interface is new to me.

But - if they’re as far along as the app suggests, I might know early in the week (unless I get a surprise call tomorrow).

More to come, I promise!

And done! Dropped it off in San Jose SC this morning and picked it up around 4:30pm. Works like a charm. They gave me Lyft vouchers to go back and forth. Very smooth experience. Their parking lot is full.
