New cheap tonneau or replace Access LE fabric

I can get a Tyger tri fold for $199 and replacing just the fabric on my Access LE will be $188. The rest of the cover is in OK shape and it's lasted 13 years, but I wonder if the remaining parts will last another 13. I don't really like the way the Tyger opens, but I don't do it much so it wouldn't bother me a ton.

 

I recovered my Access about 2 years ago. They are super helpful if you give them a call. They threw in a bunch of extra parts for free. I've tried and witnessed many other tonneau cover options and will never stray from Access. Completely worth the cost to me.

 

But the Gator it’s $249 and has a 10 year warranty on the vinyl. I grabbed on on sale for $199.

 

Leaning that way. It seems many of the cheap tri fold sag rather quickly while my LE is still tight as a drum even as the fabric is tearing from age.

Did you send them (Access) your cover to re-cover? Mine is starting to tear.

 

Looks nice and I'm the type to use that warranty so I won't be in the same boat again. Kinda looks like it blocks the use of the bed rails though which the Access does not...

 

That is a big reason as to why I haven't changed the Access cover. Believe me I have considered switching covers. I know if I do I won't have the bed rails

 

I emailed access Friday and will let you know if there are any deals right now. My access hardware is rusty and the velcro is dying so $188 for a cover on a system that won't last long isn't my first choice.

 

I swapped the bolt the are used on the bed rails to Stainless bolts. No rust

 

I just ordered a new cover and did it myself. Only took an hour or so.

 

same here. added new velcro and im good for a long time.

 

I called Agricover and they gave me a 15 percent discount which made it worth it to me.
