    I am looking to get a cover for my truck (2013 Double Cab TRD Sport 5' bed). I have been reading about the Lo Pro QT and the Access Literider. I am interested in low profile covers that still allow me to use my Rocky Mountain Clutch SD mounts that are in the front rail behind the cab. It looks like the Literider sits a lot higher on the bed than the Lo Pro (which is less appealing), but I have read about gap issues between the Lo Pro and the tailgate. What is your experience with these covers? Are there any other roll up covers that you recommend?

    Thanks!

    I'm one of those who griped about the LoPro. I didn't like the way it fit at the tailgate. Nor did I like that I had to open the tonneau cover to close the gate or it jammed the rubber 'lip'. Plus, I could pop the tonneau cover lock without even opening the tailgate because the gap was big enough under the lip for me to slide my hand in far enough to reach the release.

    Just my 2 cents, plenty of people are happy with their LoPros. I am trying to find a local Taco with an Access cover installed so that I can look at it in person.

    I just installed the Lo Pro QT on my 2013 and it fits perfectly there is zero gap between the tailgate and the cover, it is above snug fit. The only reason there would be a gap is a poor installation.

    Could be, I'd like to see one in person where the user is happy with it.
