I have their HD cover. Heard a lot about this one. Looks great. Can you show some pics of how it opens?

Couple pica of the tie downs, one incorporated into the mide panel hinge, one along the bulkhead...

Ty for the pics. Here’s pic of what I was mentioning on my plastic popped up by cab. One pic it’s up, next I’m pressing it down with my finger. Wonder if I can glue it.

How is the HD clamped from below?
That's odd the way it's pulling up the plastic piece above the sidewall...

Looks good, btw, if a bit naked, without the cleats. How do you plan to tie down your cooler? I have the cleats but didn’t want as many as it comes with. Unfort it’s all or none or they supply them and they can be self installed.

Hot off the presses related to the Switchback anchor plates...

It uses the same U type clamps as other covers I’ve had.

I like the smooth no cleats look too.

I’m getting this one. Thanks for the review.

I’ve never had a tonneau cover but I can see the practicality for us when we travel.

how would these do offroad? Would the weight help it stay put or be even more of a danger?

A year later and I still love it!
I love stacking my monster coolers on top the tonneau too as it gives me much more room
Hope you like it!
Install is a breeze!

They are clamped down pretty well and yes I think with the weight of the tonneau it it will help to keep it in place and secure!
