Default Anyone try this Tonneau cover from ebay?

Looking for a good deal but I don't want snaps or the covered wagon. Would like something lockable and low profile. Really don't like the fiberglass cover look.

Thanks.

I have the link toautoanything.com and they seem to have some good prices too.

Anyone have a bad experience with ANY cover?? Thanks

If you are going to hall a few loads occasionally, moving or helping friends move, I'd suggest a roll-up cover. I never did like the inconvenience of a "flip up" cover like the one in that eBay auction.

Here's the one I'd suggest, its Agricover's Vanish ultra-low profile cover, only 1/2" above the box:

I have its brother, the Access cover, and it is top quality.

I had a bit of a bad experience with a CoverCraft cover on my Dakota before I traded it. It was cheap, I only pad about $200 for it new from JC Whitney, and the cover material started cracking at about a year and a half of age.

The only bad thing is, with top quality you get a bit of a price tag: if you have the short box, that Vanish cover is $409. If you have a long box, its $419.

I bought a hard cover from autoanything and would again if i needed one.Good service and recieved like they said one week from xmas a few yrs ago. I think it was called undercover something. It is a hard plastic top that is durable and weighs about 60lbs. Easy to put on or take off. Has dual locks. Eric

Thanks. I think you're right that the roll u pcover would be better. I just assumed the bars would still be there but if they are easy to unhook, then it shouldn't be a big deal.

The "bars", if I understand you correctly, in an Agricover cover actually are built into the fabric of the cover. When you roll the cover up, the bars roll up with it. There isn't any "unhooking" to do at all. Its very convenient and very quick.
