Soft tonneau covers

Postby Diesel » Wed Aug 21, 2013 8:03 pm

I kinda hate my ARE bed cap. It's all aluminum and has 3 doors and I really should like it but its just damn ugly. I need something to go over my bed though. So thinking about a soft tonneau. Do those snaps actually last? How quick can I pull it back and reattach? Here are two if you have any specific comments.

In short, the snaps are a pain in the ass. Need to open it on a cold day? Forget about putting it back on. They never line up correctly. Velcro is slightly better. Ive been half-assed keeping an eye out for one like my dad has on his 04. its velcro on the sides, and the cover is permanently attached to the bows. If you need in it, the whole thing rolls up, bows included. You can open or close it in about 2 mins.

i had the blackmax on the white truck for years. its a nice quality piece that functioned well. the snaps flip over for summer-winter use. I never had to do that down here in the land of perpetual summer.

Snaps do seem silly. I guess the one in the last link is best because it folds.
