zoolander Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 We have a Mitsubishi pick up and thinking about getting a cover for behind The hard top cover that remotely goes up and down looks nice but the Mrs says they don't last long The soft top are a lot cheaper but don't know if they're user friendly Anyone have a recommendation cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transam Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Notice with the Aeroklas lid that it totally covers the bed liner edges, no water ingress...It is about 4 inches deep and has a stout inner lining, making a very ridged piece, no flapping about..

Thanks for the answer, same as you i hate these new auto electrics, most problem free vehicle i have ever owned was a 1993 Kia Ceres tip truck , the engine was a perkins made under license and everything else on it was basic, you changes the hot air flow from the floor to the windscreen by closing 2 flaps on the blower unit In 200k the only repairs apart from tyres and brakes were a water pump and 2 uni joints Never broke down and was used commercially all the time i had it, certainly not fancy but very reliable and cheap to run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it always been like that? I have a 5 year old Triton with a SuperUp lid - similar to yours. The underside is padded and has a switchable light underneath (presumably for passengers as I have never used it ). Mine still works fully from inside or outside without the engine running but have had in the past annoying occurrences where it refused to open......... The problem was intermittent and eventually (last year sometime) I had it properly checked out and found that part of the cable running to the battery was completely dead/corroded or whatever. They cut that out and has been ok since. OP that seems a good price as mine was 30k back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
