Default Lund Tonneau Cover

Anyone have a lund cover? I found some for fairly cheap for my dak and was just wondering if anyone had one and liked it? Which kind? I can get 5 different ones, a roll up, a tri-fold, a snap one, peel and seal, and a lift up one. I'm thinkin about goin with the snap, peel and seal, or the roll up.

I have a tri-fold, I wouldn't get any of the ones that you are interested in. they are to hard to close up in the winter, they shrink up in the cold weather. I had a snap on.

I had a cloth tonneau on mine originally and it shrank also. I love the fiberglass tonneau.

Personally I don't like the snap or peel n seal covers but I'd take peel n seal over snap. As mentioned both of them will get extremely tight when it gets cold, don't plan to take it off in the winter and get it back on after.

I have a Extang revolution tonneau. no snaps, no peels, it has rubber along the sides that sit together when close to seal the box, it's not 100% water tight but I have yet to see any water in the box after it rains.

like you say it does shrink in cold weather and up here that's -40C. but its easy to adust to deal with in the winter as the sides can move freely along the rails to make it easier when closing it up.

It is a more expencive model but I think it's worth every penny. look it up at extang you can even see the installation instructions online.

Just a thought.

I just had an Agricover Loredo access cover put on yesterday http://www.agricover.com/index.php/products/category/C9/.

These are really popular around here and in North Dakota, we have some nasty winters. Fairly inexpensive at $399 installed at the shop. Plus it's a local company and I thought it would be nice to support them!

I do have a soft cover, it's Lund TriFold. I had a heck of a time with the button on, in the
winter. I don't think any of them leak tho.
