| Description of the problem | The rivets holding the hinges to the udercover tonneau ( http://www. Undercoverinfo. Com/products/classic )cover come loose often ad have to be replaced this has happened about 5 times fortunately the cover has not flow off killing somebody behind me on the freeway i keep a ratchet strap with me to tie secure it to the bed i would say that this is hazard, i was told by undercover that they designed it this way so that the rivets would give way without breaking the cover itself.
