in addition to what LR777 said, i was able to closely inspect the abovementioned new design power operated retractable lid...

a future Baguio BOSB- (his name is March, 2010 GLS Sport M/T user) had this installed at Carryboy La Union to the tune to about P39-40 thousand coins of Jose Rizal!. it was installed after he purchased the truck on October 2009.

the design looks promising. the rail at both sides has a gutter that also has a drainage on all 4 corners so the concentration of water flow goes through it. March also advised that at one time, during the heavy rains up here in Baguio last month the bed interior was still totally dry- much need on his case since he delivers paper products. the lid itself has a hook that locks the tailgate BUT im not convinced of its capability since the hook from the lid is quite small. perhaps a barrel bolt used in canopies on both sides from the inside will help out further. once the lid is closed, it can handle up to 5 kilos on top of it without damage.

to those who appreciate the current shape of the strada will like this. since the retractable lid is bolted on the bedside. its streamlined design shows minimal visual from the side view will eliminate the bulkiness of the current hard lids like the GSR and GSX of carryboy. the downside of it- even with the old design lid is that the depth of the pickup bed will be compromised due to the rails.

it doesn't totally retract. it left about 15% of it before reaching the motor. so for those who are expecting a real open pickup bed with this lid, you might want to think again.

but nonetheless, this new design is a step in the right direction. perhaps a bit more of fine tuning and this will really sell!

Very informative sir ian! convinced me more to go for the roller lid. yun nga lang mawawalan na ng silbi yung cargo hooks, tama ba?

Sir, our Strada also has the roller lid (manual). Regarding dun sa cargo hooks, meron dalawang cargo hooks na inilipat sa bandang gitna ng side wall ng truck bed kasi matatakpan ng housing ng roller lid. magagamit pa din yung mga cargo hooks, pero di mo sya maeextend ng todo.

Regarding dun sa leaks, tingin ko kelangan pa din imaintain yung sealants lalo na dun sa mga drain tubes. yung sa akin kasi nagleak ng konti nung umulan.

After nung incident, nagpagawa ako ng police report then photo copy nung OR/CR at lisensya ko and nung nakabangga, the nag print ako nung mga pictures nung damage. Ngayon nasa casa na yung sasakyan ko for estimate. After estimate, submit lahat ng documents sa insurance company para madesisyunan. Nilalakad ng sales agent ko lahat. Buti na lang maasikaso at mabait ang SA (Lhen Segunto) ko...

Bro, buti naman at hindi kayo nasaktan. Sana maayos agad ang strada mo. Ingat lagi bro.

Oh okay. yup, maigi na nga maglagay ng sealant for added leak prevention. Thanks sir!

Oo sir.. medyo malakas din yung impact.. kasi nakaladkad kami nyan ng konti. Naka slant kami to the left pero after mabangga kami.. naka paling na kami sa kanan.

naku sir, tinamaan ka rin ng virus! buti naman at okay kayo...
ganda pa naman ng truck mo nung nagkita tayo sa ortigas flyover...
ingat mga bosb's

bro, saan ito nangyari. napadaan pa naman ako sa may village nyo last tuesday evening. itetext sana kita kaya lang di ko na save ang number mo. looking at this picture pare, parang na struck ng lightning ang truck mo, with the lightning bolt design of the truck.

just taken the truck to the casa again today, due to a "palyado" during climbs, specially on the city camp-lourdes uphill road (queen of peace). they just replace the suction valve control, still observing for now. hope its the solution, but im just thinking what causes the parts to give in.
