Here is another shot. I like the cover real good other than when I want to haul something large the bed. I haven't tried taking it off yet to see how hard it is.

I had a hard top like that on another truck I had awhile back. Those things are a total pain in the you know what if you haul things on a regular basis. Takes two people to take it on or off, gotta store it somewhere when not in use, gotta crawl inside the bed under it to re-attach when you take it off....they are fine if you never want to use the bed of your truck (or seldom) to haul anything. I found a roll up tonneau cover worked best for me.

it's like when you're looking for them, no one is selling. but when you don't need/want one, they are all over the place.

Bummer that it didn't work out for ya. I know what everyone means about have one of these hard tonneau covers on the truck. It does make it hard to use it if you want to haul something large. Also if you are going to get a load of gravel or dirt it gets in the way. I bought the truck with it on it and do like it 90% of the time. I live in Washington where it rains and in the winter we get a fair amount of snow too so during those times I like it. I can put things in the bed when going on a trip instead of having to have it in the cab of the truck. Keeps the cab not as cluttered and with a preteen girl plus 3 small dogs I run out of room fast.
