Who makes the best Hard Lids in Sydney, New South Wales? (Reviews/Ratings)

On a daily basis, we at Utemaster talk to Ute owners from Sydney who are looking for the best tub cover for their Ute.

We’ve had so many discussions regarding what tub covers are available and what features are important that we feel we’ve got a good grasp on what's out there.

In the market, there are many different types of covers including Roller Shutters, ABS Plastic Lids, Fibreglass Lids, Vinyl Tonneaus and Aluminium Hard Lids to name a few.

There’s a lot to consider and we want our customers to be as informed as possible. So with respect to our competition, we’d like to share our insights with you.
