Description of the problem | I bought an undercover truck tonneau cover to cover the bed of my 2007 toyota tacoma truck. After three years of use the cover developed severe fatigue cracking around the mounting hinges. Fearing a catastrophic failure, with the cover possibly flying off into traffic, i removed the cover from the truck. The failure has not been corrected by undercover and the part remains in my possession. Their response was that they would not replace or repair the cover since it was out of warranty and that it should be removed if i felt it was a safety hazard. Pictures of the cracked hinges are available. *kb |
