Paul, put one on my Screw last week. Install was easy, cover fits and looks good. Operation is smooth and easy. About the only thing I do not like is the way the cover seals in the front of the bed. I needed to put a piece of weather striping across the front to make weather tight.For a soft tonneau they are a little expensive but I think it was worth the price($350.) over a hard or roll top cover. so far I am pleased and two friends have since odered for thier trucks after seeing mine. hope this helps.

I have one also and agree with what Dakota said. I think the quality is a lot better than the other soft covers on the market.

I have had one for about two years on my Screw.

I agree with Dakota regarding the front. I used the weatherstripping on the forward edge and get almost perfect watertightness. There still is a slight dribble with powerwashing in this area.

The velcro is as new, the top always stays tight and neat and it is very easy and convenient to use. I have a slight issue with the corner design at the back as it gives a little irregularity to an otherwise absolutely clean design. I still get comments on the cover.

Overall I recommend it highly with the above two reservations. It is the best soft cover, it is much less intrusive of space than the hard roll covers and it is very much more convenient than the hard fiberglass covers if you want to use your bed frequently.

I have an access cover. I like it but also had to install weather stripping on the front. You should also install a tail gate seal if you plan on driving down any gravel roads.

The overall quality of the Access Cover is good and its ease of operation is excellent. I've had problems with sealing in the front and back corners. I emailed Access some pictures and they sent me weatherstripping for the front and new strikes for the back. I have not had time to check out if the strikes are any different than the originals. Overall, I'm still happy with it. Best of all, it doesn't look like a covered wagon. Lots of people have commented how nice it looks.
