Love everything about it...looked at it for a year since I got my truck...just ended up waiting for time and money. Total cost was approx. $750. The shop that installed it made the wrong measurement for the shock mount to the bed, so consequently the lid didn't stay up. He swore it was the size of the shocks...well 6 weeks later I stoped by the shop and low and behold he had discovered his mistake by then. That was and is still the only problem. The look is great, and the third brake lite works good since I now have clear lenses in the rear.

i saw a picture of that bedcover in a catalogue, but didnt want to spend that much on something that i couldnt see very well.
i think i'll go order one in a week or two now...
how many locks does it have? where are they?
do you have a problem with it rubbing your paint anywhere?
sorry for all the questions, just excited that i found someone with the bedcover i wanted..
maybe i can send you a bolt on "c" notch or some 2600# air bags for helping me..
another thing.. was the underside of the tonneau finished? like painted or what?

The locks are in each corner prior to the wing going up. There just two round (approx. size of a nickel)locks, insert key turn and push up. The underside is carpeted in gray (came that way). Theres a custom shop here in town that said they could convert the locks to remotes if I wished (maybe later)...OH YEAH! 20" KMC Venoms! cant wait to get em' Some day soon, hopefully before the summers over. And yes bags are definitly in the future too!
OOPPS! forgot, no there is no place for it to rub on paint, it goes right on the plastic rail covers. And it's bone dry after washing, no water gets in it either.
