A question for Max Power, do you remember seeing a Duracover at SEMA? The Duracover is similiar in design/construction to the Undercover, though I think better looking. I've not seen either in person, and would love to hear a comparison. For my money its down to those two. Solid, light weight, easily removed and replaced, durable, fairly secure and reasonably priced.

I think I did, but I can't remember for sure. I thought Undercover had the best looking finish on it and the latches and locks seemed to be of the highest quality construction, for the hard Tonneaus. Of the soft tonneaus, the Extang seemd the nicest to me.

I bought the Mopar Accessories soft tonneau cover. No snaps, no velcro. It seems to be high quality, heavy. It has locking groove strips all around. Installs pretty quick, the clamps won't harm your paint. It is virtually air tight. I've been through several downpours - no leaks. Dry as a bone in back. $375.00 at the dealership for my 8ft bed. The 6.5 ft length would be cheaper. No locks on it though. For security, I'd advise a hard cover but for me, the soft cover works fine. I don't leave anything of value stored back there anyways.

Ok so I finally was able to decide on a tonneau cover. Went with Extang RT low profile. I paid about 320 for it (included shippingand a free tailgate seal) I'll post pics when i get it installed.

First thing first. Thanks to everyone that gave me info on the cover. I got mine today and installed it in about 20 minutes. The installation was a joke (so simple and easy, why would you wast money on having someone else do it). Recieved Extang RT. Looks sharp. I'll post pics when it stops raining in the next few days...

I got the Extang Tuff Cover III at autoanything.com for my 07 QC/SB. It's a soft cover with plastic rails that hold kind of like a zip bag and aluminum frame. It installed in about 30 minutes most of which was me reading the directions. I didn't have concerns about security but wanted to keep it clean and help save gas.Top notchmaterials and fit.
