What is the best soft tonneau cover ?
What is the best fitting, lowest profile, best looking soft tonneau cover for the L ? My L didn't have it as an option and the Ford parts dept at my dealer only had one with snaps. Not interested in anything with snaps. Any suggestions from you seasoned L owners.

Your dealer can order you the OEM snapless cover, but it is not the factory grey one. I ended up getting a factory grey one used because I like them. As far as the "best" cover, I think the Extang is the best quality cover on the market. They are not super low-profile though....

not as a complete kit. They now order it piece by piece for an
outrageous sum of money.

Is it the same type of fastening system? That's what
makes the factory one sit still at 140 mph methinks ...
If my L was outside instead of in for warranty seat work,
I would go get the part numbers .....

Ordered mine through the parts department at the dealer where I bought the truck. I had it on the same day that I picked it up and could not have been happier. I paid big money for it, but like it much better than the hard covers and all the other soft options. Mine does not ear up in the corners, although the stitiching is a bit loose in the rear pass. corner. It has it's own warranty, so I may take advantage of that when the weather finally clears up.

Factory cover
I think the factory OEM snapless cover does a nice job, I was lucky and had my tuner pick one up from Downs Ford in North Jersey for dealers cost. I put it on my 2000 L 2 years ago and it's still in perfect shape, John H.
