Pickup tonneau covers

[Jim B]

Looking for something for my D40 Navara.

After something which can be folded/rolled out the way so can still use bed as normal, sometimes place a small machine/part/barrel in back.

Quite a few of the roller shutter type about, but heard they can leak, and the mechanism takes up a chunk of space at the front. Expensive to buy new, but do appear used now and again.

Material ones are cheap to buy new, but not sure how well they'd last and how secure they are.

Recently seen one called a "BakFlip"; three hinged panels, which hinge up the bed on top of each other, and will stand up right on stands by the cab so hardly obscures bed. Seems to fit the bill, but still quite a bit to buy new, and don't seem to come up used.

Any feedback appreciated.

The backflip looks great, might have to do a bit more research. Might just tick all the boxes for me.

Have a Bakflip on a Hilux and it is spot on for how I use the truck.
Not 100% waterproof but no major leaks.
Reasonably secure when closed.
Can open as much as you need for odd shaped loads and driven fully folded forward or can be removed easily by one person.
Bought mine secondhand and would have another if the rubbers ever deteriorate on this one.
Is it for a double cab Navara as may know where one is for sale in Kent.
