best tonneau retractable

I have been searching and the new 07 HD Screw needs a tonneau and the wife say get one of these cool electric retractable. If anyone knows of an article or who's top is the one which stays looking good and working good please let me know.

Might not be able to use the electric in winter in Michigan but I can deal with that.

Advice anyone?

Tom

It's not electric, but I'm most likely getting this one for my new GMC.

I posted a similar thread here...

I also would prefer a rollback, but no flareside model. Have decided on a hardtop anyway...

Id recomend against Roll-N-Lock, mine took over 2 weeks to get installed properly. The Fit and Finish is very poor and it still doesnt always lock correctly. It looks fine now, but if I were to do it over I would go with retrax.

Pretty good top. I would get a hard top if you need water tight though.

I just can't believe they are $800 plus, I'd much rather have a fiberglassed cover for a few more bucks!

How does Retrax seal with rain? Im thinking of selling my Leer Tonneau cover for this. I need open bed access as much as I need a secured cover.

I just want to make sure that it doesnt get soaked under there when it rains.

I recently purchased a RETRAX and could not be happier with it. Well worth the money.
