 Lock Freezes when its 30 degrees
LSII Series :
December 19, 2019    Posted by: JP
Purchased this cover for the security compared to a soft cover. It was nice until winter. When the temp drops to 30 degrees the lock freezes and doesn't function. I had replacement lock put in and happened next day. Then they put white lithium grease in and still froze the next day. Temps only dropped to 30 degrees both nights. Also tried de-icers and using a heat gun and it still wouldn't free up. I could see if temps are in single digits but just below freezing, come on. It's described as an automotive type lock so why does that freeze but my door locks don't. Lost out on a day of work since it was locked and couldn't access my tools. Tried emailing ARE and haven't heard back, will try and call but I can guess what the answer will be. So more than likely, it'll be going in the trash. Would have saved money using a soft cover and letting my tools get stolen.

 Dinosaur should be extinct ... note to designers at ARE's LSII department

This is my second LSII from ARE; which I rather enjoyed my first for several years. But, the most recent incarnation of the LSII's is not as good. The edge is no longer finished with trim and is rough and course. The first time I opened the lid I received a sliver. Without the edge trim it'll be susceptible to damage from a rake, lumber, chainsaw, split wood, a rib on a shotgun barrel … you name it. The lines do not fit the truck box. The fiberglass is too heavy -- carbon fiber would be half the weight and stronger. I don't care for the contoured deck either. Water accumulates on it instead of running off. I wrote ARE about my concerns for the lack of edge trim and I got a terse response and told me to take it up with my dealer. This is my last ARE product.

Can’t beat A.R.E. Fiberglass Tonneau Covers. Keeps things dry and safe when you lock your cover.
