    But I am glad you noticed that!
    I have been looking for that all afternoon. That is my Bike ToolPack that I always keep mounted on my Bike... IT has the Allen Wrenches and tire repair kit inside. I was trying to find a matching allen wrench to tighten the Silver brackets for the cover.
    Thanks for noticing it in the picture... No kidding, I looked all over the Garage for that, so I could put it back on the Bike! Even looked under the cover but didn't see it way under there!

    I wouldn't know what a bag of Coke looks like, but I guess now I do?!!

    Short of waiting for another one to show up on Craigslist, where could you buy the Advance Accessories cover? I think I settled on the Trifecta because I can't find that cover you have anywhere.

    Damn, this whole time I've been calling it "Advance Accessories"


    The one I have is called "Hard Hat" by Advantage Accessories. It locks into factory bedrails, 2 minute initial install because you have to adjust the clamps, otherwise its "clamp on" in the 4 corners of the factory bedrails. Your existing cleats can stay, you just slide them to one side or the other. Its just as 'waterproof' as the Extang, looks similar as well. It sits just a tad higher.

    Hey guys, one more question...
    The Silver brackets are held into the bed rail slots with small screw and washers... Are these screws supposed to be tightened with a wrench (Hex/allen) or just finger tight? (Not talking about the black tighteners that hold down the Cover, just the small hex head screws that hold the bracket)

    Didn't mean to jack the thread, but now I know why I couldn't find the cover. Thanks for the info.

    Mine came with an allen key. I didn't tighten them too much into the bed rail system. But I did make them fairly snug.
