If it was specialty covers then yes, I have looked into them. It is built like
the roll-n-lock. Designed by a company that makes hurricane shutters so that is
why it is so strong. The company is located near tampa, fl and a year and a half
ago when I was looking at covers I went and looked at thiers at thier shop. Very
nice cover. A veru high quaility unit which I felt was even better than the
roll-n-lock which is also a very well built and design unit. The cool thing is
the electric motor and the fact that it comes or can be setup to open and close
with a keychain remote. It uses 2 bosch sealed motors (don't remember which
ones) that are definatly overpowered for the unit. I didn't get one or even the
roll-n-lock because of price (at the time was around $950). The civer have come
down since and I still kick myself for not buying at least the roll-n-lock.
Whatever you do don't get the pace edwards. Mine was great for the first year
but then wear catches up and the function becomes sloppy. The cover itself holds
up just the mechaincs suck. Hope this helps.
