It didn't look like this was ever going to happen, so I put together a buy of my own when the new lid finally came out in the beginning of September. Let me tell you guys..... It was a nightmare!!! We ordered 11 lids. Out of the 11 I think only 4 were delivered with all the parts and undamaged. The lids missing parts weren't much of a problem. Gaylords shipped the missing parts out quickly. 5 of the lids were damaged (cracked)upon delivery. So of course Gaylords shipped 5 new ones. Out of those 5, 3 more were damaged.
Don't get me wrong, their lids look incredibly nice once you get an undamaged one with all the hardware. I love mine!!! But the attitude of Gaylords just plain sucks. You might say that the blame for the damage is because of the shippers. WRONG!!! They have an obvious problem with their crating, but they think it's just fine. If they packed the lids correctly, nobody would have received a damaged lid. You would think there was a shortage of lumber in California. They use very thin plywood around the lid, but no plywood on the back or front of the lid. HELLO!!!! What's wrong with this picture???
My buddy just had a Snuglid delivered to his house. It was like trying to take a house apart when it was delivered. That's how awesome their crating is. Gaylords could learn from them.
Oh, and the keyless entry......Well, it's OK I guess. I think having the single lock is nice, but the "WOW" factor of the keyless entry isn't too much to be "wowed" about. I really wonder what the engineers who designed this lid were thinking when they designed the wiring for it. It barely reaches where it needs to reach, and it doesn't have a quick disconnect at the rear of the lid. Instead the quick disconnect sits under the cab. That doesn't do you much good if you have a bed liner or bed rug and want to take your lid off and you're in a hurry. PITA if you ask me.
