I get that it's not for everyone, but I like my OEM cover. And it was relatively cheap when I bought it.Don't knock stock.

It's all good, and I'm not selling them, but for the record it doesn't feel like anywhere near 71#. I'm pretty old and not really a workout guy, and it's a lot easier than a 60lb bag of concrete mix, for example - I'd guess 40, maybe 45#.I don't, but for me the OEM price of $1100 and 71 lb weight make no sense...
In 2020 - early pandemic time - my dealer matched the price of a 3rd-party OEM tonneau provider. I was there getting an oil change, asked if they wanted to compete with the price, and they did. Don't know if they'd do it now, but saved me at least $300, and if something had been wrong with it I could've taken it right back.Honda parts guys has the OEM Honda cover for $846

The 50% code they provided 2 years ago still worked for me today when I looked at the price/total cost: BKP50I only saw a 25% off shipping discount, which still puts it over $1000.
I personally wouldn't spend that much, but judging from some of the posts on this site, many have no qualms about spending multiple thousands of dollars on accessories, warranties, ect.
I think in 2020 the OEM was $1100; maybe $1050. (edit: just searched email, and list price was $995 in 2020) I was very surprised that my dealer matched the BK deal then, but it was June/July 2020, when many businesses were desperate to get the cash flowing, so maybe that's why (not that my $700 would keep the lights on long, lol).My buddy that had a 2017 RL swears he got his cover for $750 + tax at the local dealership back in 2017.
Now the same dealer wants $1150+ tax.
