Re: tonneau cover help
If your looking for a fiberglass one then you won't be able to find one that cheap. The cheapest I've seen is from checkerpro about $640.

Re: tonneau cover help
I was thinking of fiber glass, but to expensive for me and I want to be able to take the tonneau off and store in a small space

Re: tonneau cover help
I know you said that you did not one with snaps, but if you get one with the aluminum frame rails and the cover either snaps to it or uses the velcro fitment, then that would not be bad. For years, I have run the EXTANG brand covers (great company, by the way). The covers that I have used is the "Platnum Classic" which is a snap cover that has the snaps in the aluminum rails. This is a great cover that is priced at around $225.00 in Summit Racing. Right now, I am upgrading my DD to an EXTANG "Trifecta" cover, that is a soft cover that folds in 3 sections. It mounts easy and the cover can be completely removed in minutes. It is priced a little higher, but will be a worth it. Just a good thought---take a look at their products.

Re: tonneau cover help
  ok. This is a video but you can see the cover really well.  I got this cover for 450 and installed at that price. Its a literider from access. I love it. It just rolls up and you have your bed of the truck.

Re: tonneau cover help
When the cap's not on I wear a TonneauMaster. I don't remember exactly what I paid, but it's super easy on and off, is super durable and looks great.
