[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1422430, member: 31322"] My recommendation would be an Advantage hard hat tri-fold cover. Don’t have one now but had one on previous trucks. It’s lower in price point than some of the bakflip low profile ones, more secure, & 100% watertight. Personally even tho they give the low-profile look I’d avoid the hard folding ones that use their own inside rails on the bed & require drain tubes. I had a gator version which is same manufacturer ultimately & the panels got water penetration & after freezing the AL panels were separating from the composite core. The weather stripping between the hinges of the panels also started deteriorating/pulling away over time making it even more prone for water penetration. This advantage cover I had used 4 adjustable hard plastic lockdown clamps @ each corner of the bed, the tailgate end obviously made for the locking handles to be used regularly but the rears could be loosened up fairly easily (sometimes would require a screwdriver to use as leverage initially getting em off if I hadn’t removed in long time) I could take it off in 5 mins easy for full bed access. Has AL frame w/ heavy vinyl/composite panels underneath the vinyl top so it stays flat & smooth unlike the rolling soft type & provides more security (you’d need a legit saw to get into it) & allows you to put some weight on top when closed - maybe like 40 lbs or so w/o sagging/damage. On one of my GM trucks I had it on long story short truck got totaled & the tailgate wouldn’t unlock & I tried a crowbar to get this cover popped off for access to the tools I had left in the bed before it went to salvage yard & I couldn’t get it off, had to borrow sawzall from tow yard to cut into one of the panels and crawl in.
