    For security Diamondback is the way to go. A little expensive but well worth it. They are made out of aluminum and rhino coated. They are located in western PA near State College

    You're going to need to have a locking tail gate too otherwise someone will just open your tailgate.

    IMG_1161.jpg With any topper or tonneau there are tradoffs. Security level vs. ease of removal vs. ability to haul tall items without leaving your tonneau or topper behind. For me, a Bakflip folding tonneau and a locking tailgate were the only choice.

    Keep in mind that although a topper with windows may seem secure, if someone wants what they see through the window, a piece of glass is not going to keep them out. I saw a topper with a broken window and glass on the ground at a motel. I mentioned it to the person at the front desk. She said that someone broke the window and stole a bunch of tools during the night.

    This was the most secure cover I could find. Mine has been superb, very little in the way of leaks. With a tailgate lock and this cover, items are safer in the bed than in the cab.
