Access Roll-Up vs Literider cover.
Does anyone know what the difference is between the Access Roll-Up and the "Literider" Tonneau covers besides almost $100 in price. They appear to function the same and appear to basically have the same features.
I had an Extang Black Max on my 2001 Screw and did not really like the looks (bows) or functionality (snaps). So I am looking for something in a soft Tonneau for the 2003 Screw I have on order.
Thanks
Mike

Mike, I think the biggest difference is the thickness of the material for the cover itself. I have the access roll up. I think it is a good cover, open and closes in less than a minute and fits the bed good. My only complant was the way the cover fit the front rail.I called the company and the sent me a gasket kit to seal the front. hope this helps. Joe

Their website shows the tension adjusting feature same as the Access Roll-up. Like I said from what I can tell the "Literider" appears to have all of the "Access" options. I think "Dakota's" answer probably is the reason the "Literider" is less expensive' Maybe that is what "Lite" refers to in the name.

I have a LiteRider on my 01 SCrew. I looked at both and the only real differences are the cover material and the tension adjustment. The tension adjustment on the LiteRider isn't quite as easy to adjust, but once you get it set you won't have to mess with it anymore. Other than those things, the look and function is identical. The little bit more hassle adjusting tension was well worth the hondo I saved. Just my 2 cents.

Mike,
I had it installed, the price was the same whether I took it home and installed it myself or if they installed it. I watched them install it, then do the adjustments, it took them about 20 minutes to install. I have adjusted it once myself also for tension. No problems at all, pretty easy to adjust, just not as easy as the Access. Adjustment took maybe 10 minutes. I'll be switching the Literider to my new SCrew in a few weeks. I'll let you know how it goes. Hope this helps.
