    I have been looking at the various info on here about the tonneau tops and had decided to go with the Acces Torza Top (Janster convinced me it was a good top). Unfortunately, when I went to order at my local dealer they said it's been discontinued. The computer kicked them over to the Extang tri-fold so it seems that Access is recommending that one in place of the one they used to make. They had one in the shop and I really liked it so I ordered one. Hopefully it will come in on Wednesday and I'll be able to put it on New Year's Day.

    I actually think it's pretty cool but haven't done a lot of research on it, just cosmetically I think it looks awesome. I'd be curious to see how hard it was to put up and also take down, etc. If I ever find the right Taco, I would totally buy one.

    Tamale take a good look at the Extang top before you pay for it. I have a Extang solid fold and I am very displeased with it. The first one that came in was missing seals and very scratched up. I had the second one installed and didn't notice until I got home that it had some scratches. Also all of the seals were so poorly cut it leaked like crazy. They sent me replacement seals but that took 4 calls 4 shipments and 4 weeks for them to get that right.

    Nice cover Joe B.. My son just had an Undercover installed on his truck. Much nicer than the POS Extang solid fold I got. My dealer also sold this one but talked me into the Extang. Me bummed. :(

    I was going to get the Extang too, but was told they didn't make it for the long bed. I ended up getting the Access LE and I love it!

    FYI: I emailed Access about buying the Element Seal separately for the Literider and this is the response:

    As you can see, I didn't get an answer and I don't quite know what a "fabric seal" is but it doesn't exactly sound leak proof to me.

    You will not be disappointed, clia25!

    I've been using mine is some pretty cold weather and it works great. Some sort of tailgate seal would be better if you drive a lot in the snow, though.

    According to http://www.agricover.com/index.php/products/category/C52/, the only difference major between the LiteRider and the LE is the seal on the front.

    The LE has a Element Seal & Fabric Guard.

    The LiteRider has a Dual Fabric Guard.

    The other things - black vs silver bows, XT-Dial vs EZ-Dial, and upgraded storage straps - do not mean much to me. Keeping water out is important.

    Is this seal worth the $105 price difference? :confused: Any pictures of the seal on either model?



    Anyone load a standard sized dirt bike in the back with the cover rolled up? Does the front tire press against the cover?


    I'll probably over-analyze this and feel like I made the wrong decision in the end anyway.

    IMO, no. You can buy the Element Seal separately, too. That's per the email response I got from Agricover. I did not get a price, though, still need to call for that.

    The Element Seal should seal it up pretty well up front but the back will also leak based on the openings on top of the tailgate. I'd have to take a pic to better explain it but just know that it isn't sealed by any means. However, I do need to make an adjustment or two so that may help a bit.

    My purpose in buying this cover wasn't for its water tight seal. Rather, I bought it to keep things out of sight when I need to and to keep a stroller from being out in the elements.
