    Best thing about the tarp tonneau cover? Can't hear my rear end howl while the tarp flaps in the wind

    Just got the Tyger. Install took about 15 min. First impression is that this is excellent for the price and I cant believe that this was so cheap. They even include a bed light.

    I bought the extang 2.0 solid fold for $748 shipped from autoanything. I liked it until it started to dimple In the front where the two clamps were. No I didn't overtighten it. It dimpled about 8 inches away from the actual clamp mechanism because of pressure. Design flaw...

    So, I sent it back and autoanything gave me a full refund and free return shipping after a couple of calls.

    Now I just purchased an extang encore from tonneaucoversworld for $785 shipped. This one I like a lot more. This one uses its own rail system and has no clamps to hold the tonneau down. It has a slam latch mechanism so the tonneau is not being pulled down from pressure thus preventing potential dimples like the 2.0 cover. I also like how you can access the front section and lock it with a key. Removal is also easier since you never need to undo any latches. It will always sit in the same position so once you take it out and put back on, there is no adjusting to make it water tight. It just goes back into the rail and slams shut. Not 100% water tightight, but good enough for me. I am pretty satisfied with this new cover.
