Exact opposite experience. I tow 4000 miles AZ to TN and back. No issues, fits like a glove, no poles, etc. Ri257, template was off slightly on first revision, sent back, had it back within a week. Awesome customer service, product works as advertised. Not a single chaffe in the gel, after literally thousands of miles towing, through torrential rains, etc.
Evo covers are fantastic, read any forum, malibu, Nautique doesn't matter, evo covers are awesome!
Not surprised a dealer recommends OEM though....
