    Can the siderail cleats be used with the Extang Trifecta? If so, I personally would go with that one. You can't use the cleats with the BakFlip, but the BakFlip does fit flush, which I liked.

    I am definitly looking for something that either; Rolls up, folds up or is "easily" removeable.

    The Toppers and Undercover dont look like they would work, Like If i had them when i got my BBQ grill dont think it would have fit in the truck.

    The fold ones look good just a little exspensive.

    I def want something that has a good seal, allows use of Tie down cleats, and If i remove it down the road doesnt leave anything that would show i had it on (Glue, Holes, etc)

    I have the G4 elite, and love it, if you go on my profile I have writen a couple threads up on it, first asking, then later after i bought it, I love it, its a quad fold locking hard tonneau, all the pannels fold up on the first one so nothing is blocking the rear window when your driving with it open, and the first panel can also fold back away from the cab, I love this feature and use it alot. Also I have a good few pics on if you click on the little camera under my name on the left side of this message you will see pics from different angles of the tonneau, good luck

    Extang Trifecta!! No glue, holes, nothing. Seals great with rubber gaskets and the brackets slide into the rails, letting you use the cleats, even with the cover on.

    I have the Undercover on my Access Cab. Love it! Very durable, easy to remove if necessary, dual-locks, LED built-in. You can still use the cleats in the rails, and 1 person can easily remove this cover, it weighs about 30 lbs. Purchased from AutoAnything, free shipping!
