still love it, genuine or not. Agree with the tonneau finish comments, I still like the rope look, especially when the cover is well made. Some I see in photos look like they are made from material that is too thin. I well remember giving my cover a once over with boot polish now and again, don't know if that was politically correct but certainly helped the water repellent properties and looked great.
I reckon it looks good too. Just hate the shaved tonneau cover hooks look. Plus its real hard to fix if they welded the holes up. I just wash my tonneau cover with truck wash. Same as tyres and they come up looking good.
When i had a tonneau cover made up for my HG, i used the ford style elastic straps. These were just a small elastic loop that was individual.
I used to always used baby oil on it.The reason being that it was able to expand and shrink with the weather conditions. I always used that on my dash pad as well.
Amour oil tended to dry them up and crack them.

Some good idea's there on how to care for your tonneau cover. I just wash mine when I wash my ute, leave it on.

i always take it off. Condensation between the cover and side of the ute does it no favours. Shock cord is great instead of sash cord style rope. Also if you undo the back quarter of the cover and fold it back under the front half on dirt roads you get hardly any dust in the back.
I reckon armorall is great stuff and have never had any issues with it.
