FIBERGLASS BED COVER SOLD BY LEONARD BUILDINGS AND TRUCK ACCESSORIES 4239 CAPITOL BLVD. RALEIGH, NC 27604. HEAVY (100+ LBS) COVER HELD ON BY TWO FLIMSY ALUMINUM HINGES. I FOUND THAT ONE HINGE HAD CRACKED COMPLETELY AND THE OTHER ONE PART WAY. HAD THE OTHER HINGE FAILED AND THE COVER BLOWN OFF OF THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND/OR INJURY TO ANY VEHICLE/PERSON WHICH IT HIT. I BELIVE THAT LEONARD SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL/REPAIR THESE COVERS OR AT LEAST NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER.
