One thing I really wouldn't like about those is if you notice in the video when it is folded up all the way you can't see anything out the rear window.
I saw that. I guess they figure if you need to fold it all the way up, you're putting something in there that will obscure your vision anyway. Not entirely accurate, but understandable. Other folders take up the size of one panel on the bed when folded all the way.

You can remove it entirely if you need to.

The one that I have doesn't cover the rear window. I've had it open like that several times moving stuff. The only difference is the front panel is locked in, so you can only open it up from it's front side if you want to get in to it for some reason.

still a big fan of these...got the LSII on my 2005 Dak Quad. The body lines on the cover match that of the hood-very nice looking. Strong hinges and fits very tight. I did not get the one with the light and keyless as I already have too many damn remotes on my keychain. There is a rebate from ARE mail in now for $75. Check you dealer as many have a $25 instant rebate as well. http://www.4are.com/product/rebate.php

Which one do you have? The Fold-a-Cover? BAK?

A few more options for you, I'm sure there's more than that too. All I did was google "folding tonneau" and clicked the first link.

Thanks. I did that when I first started looking (in fact, that's how I found this site). Fortunately, I started calling the dealers before I bought anything. What I'm finding is most dealers don't know squat about their product as it relates to various truck models. I've also managed to rule out several covers this way as well.

I just want a hard folding flush mount locking liner that doesn't require any drilling. I was hoping a handful of people who used one on a quad cab sb could give me some info on how they liked theirs.

Mine folds up like the one in the vid clip except the last panel.

Here's a pic of it.

It was one I bought from Dodge. It has their logo on the rubber caps.
