Hot Damn. Thanks again Andy. Really means a lot!

Morrie is the real hero here. Without his generosity and faith in me I would never have the opportunity to hook another quality FRF member up with a free Roll-X. And don't worry, I use the term "quality" loosely. Very loosely.

I bought a roll-x from Morrie a couple weeks ago. Mine is a hybrid i guess between old and new, i have the the 2 bolts on each side at the front and the old thumb screws and seal at the tailgate.
I am liking the roll-x a lot, looks great. Doesn't seem to be as strong as my old f1, the roll-x bounces when you hit it with the palm of your hand whereas the f1 was pretty solid. I would be afraid to put much on top of it.
I also like the almost full length latching mechanism however i do have a bit over a 1/4"(7mm) of space between the cover and the edge of the rails. It seems a bit much and has allowed one side to partially come loose from the latch. I am thinking about trying to find something about 2mm thick to put behind the rails to tighten up that tolerance a bit.
Also thinking that a bungy cord from the thumb screw down to cargo tie down would probably make it stay latched better off road.

Are your rails secured tightly down to the bed caps? Neither of my Rol-X 's have had that type of gap where the rails lock down the cover. That being said, if you are doing heavy off-roaring it's probably best to remove the cover beforehand. I dont think many, if any, tonneau covers were meant to withstand the flexing and jostling of what the Raptor can do off road.

Is there my way to get ahold of one of these covers without dropping $814.10? $500, to me, seems extremely high but I'd buy it for $500 if I had to.
someone mentioned whether the Roll-X will take a load placed on top of it when it is fully closed - well how about a 120kg Ex 2-Para (Paratroop Regiment - British Army) Sleeping on it all night ?? - Not a mark on the cover or loosening of any clamp - apart from a rather large "Dust Angel" when i went to inspect
The Roll X does what it claims - and yes far better looking than any other of the covers available

Go with Morrie from Bakoutlet. He's VERY close to that eBay deal but with full factory warranty. You lose the warranty with nonauthorized sellers.
