I saw this sitting at the Junk Yard on a Chevy/GMC Canyon. I eyeballed at and thought to myself. Self, That looks damn close to fitting. Took it up front and $40 later I was the proud owner of a part that looked like it might fit.
Sooo, The story started when I got it out to the truck and laid it on the bed of my MMMM. It fit at the back perfect but was wide at the front by about 1".
First I thought my bed was tweaked. I measured my bed, its even at all four corners. So, Head and ass scratching ensued. Come to find out the Canyon's beds are an inch wider at the cab than they are at the tailgate!!! WTF?!?!?!
Sooo, To the shop I go. I take the cover apart at all seams. I cut down the panels that were wide, now they match. I am having to move the latches inward to keep all the hardware functional. Since the cover is all aluminum it is pretty light for its overall size.
This particular cover, I am able to open at the cab or at the tailgate as well as fold in half!! Another great feature, It also has "Pull Tabs" on the cover so when it is folded up on itself it stays put so one person can carry it!!
The cover adds just enough weight to plant the rear a little better and knock out some of the "bounce" of the bed being empty!!
It fits, NOW!!
