Hey boys,
I had a Blueys Ute World roll top on my last ute which was great, but the manual opperation was a bit tiresome several times a day. So I'm ooking at getting one of these, which is much the same but remote operated. Being in shitney i can't visit the store so does anyone have one or seen one and offer a bit of feedback, please?

Thanks. The manual one is only a 200 cheaper soits not a bad price comparitively. Hows the fit & finish of it around the edges. I'll be fitting it myself. Any tips if you fitted yours?

Hmmm. 95% weather resistant according to their product description. So one time in 20 it's not weather resistant - that can't be good.

Googled the roll up cover, $2,800 with remote control. It looks really nice and neat, flushes with the tray top, much better than the bulky hard cover. If I haven't had the chrome ladder racks on mine, I would definitely get one. Though they have compatible ladder racks but they don't look good.

Yes I fitted mine, takes about 4 hrs but I got the full ladder racks/bars too adds about $1,200 to the price all up $3,900 shipped to my door.
Before I fitted mine I pulled the liner out extended the rear window drains out through the floor of ute. Drilled additional drain lines for the roll top cylinder & piped the rear channels drains out of the tub behind the tail lamps as the manufacturer just recomends dumping the condensate straight under the liner, which in my book is ****! I also modded the abs panel above the fuel tank that is wasted space for an extra storage area.
