I scored mine for $300 and then had it painted at work for basically free. Also if i were you I wouldn't hesitate to buy one that is a different color and get it painted cause the way they paint those covers from the factory really sucks!

thats what i did with my first one. 300 plus 300 to paint. not bad imo. i should have just kept it but the hood was calling me bad. i should have just paid cash for it.

Hey Aaron, how is your access in the winter? Most soft tonneaus that I have seen do not unroll very well in the winter and will not snap, but I have never had or know anyone with an access tonneau

thats why the access is the best one on the market. its all velcro down the sides (no snapping). its also got a tension adjustment wheel that you can turn to adjust the tension on the cover.

basically you roll it up (because of the design you can roll it with one person from one side and it rolls evenly). unrolling is the same way. when you get to the end, the rear snaps into place, pulling the rest of the cover tight. it is also locking, so if you have a locking tailgate, the onyl way into the bed is cutting through the tonneau.

Thanks. I currently have a hard tonneau that I got from CL, but I want a good soft tonneau and the access sounds like what I want. Now I just need to get rid ont the hard tonneau that I have and get the bed of my truck either rhino lined or line-x and an access and I will ge good to go

honestly have not thought about it. I got it for cheap on CL and the mounting bracket are not the best that I have ever seen.

I have the same cover as AF and am looking for a hard cover. What do you have, maybe we can trade?

I don't know what the brand is and it is not in the best shape, was very faded and I gave it a black rattle can paint job. It looks like an ArmorLid, but the mounting brackets are not the same. I will take some pics sometime and show you.
