Well last night I decided to stagger out to the shop and TRY to install the tonneau cover I bought on Amazon...

Seemed to be of good quality, poor directions written by someone who has a difficult time with the Engrish language.

But better than my Cantonese I must admit.

After two fricken hours of working to get the latches to secure the rear of the cover I finally determined that the side rails need to be trimmed...maybe 2".

So much for the Amazon comments that it takes 15 minutes to install.

Might be a film at 11... still working my way back home tonite.
lol! Not sure what the appeal of the role up covers are? Tri folds are so much easier🤷🏻‍♂️ I bought the cheapest one on Amazon. It installed quickly and easily. It’s almost water proof. (Maybe a very small trickle of water after washing). Simple to remove if needed. I call it the easy button.

The roll up is easy for my wife to use, tucks away nicely if you need the full length of the bed and are less expensive.

When fully rolled up. mine still allows for viewing out the rear window, I can't say that for tri folds that are fully opened up.
