Installed craftec inc tonneau cover today $249
 
It took three hours with the help of my wife to get it right...I ordered it from the website...came within a week...install was a pain but the finished product is good. I would recommend it for the person who wants a low budget top but not for the guy who wants a dry bed...My one complaint is that it doesnt reach the top of the tail gate...I tweaked it as much as I could and there is still a cm gap between the top of the tail gate and the cover...it seals ok on the bed rails but definately not water tight:) Thought I'd let ya'll know.

You might try wrapping the frame with some foam tape. My last cover had that on the frame to keep from rubbing on the paint and possibly for a air tight seal.

BOTH trucks look great! Are there hard panels under the vinyl cover or is it just stretched real tight?

There are three crossbars that come across from side to side that have a slight angle almost un-noticeable....

Al, I see the three support bars. Is the white part the underside of the vinyl? I'm assuming the vinyl is stretched over the bars and snapped to the framing?? Thanks

The underside of the cover is the white part and yes it does wrap around the outer frame, it has like a plastic hard strip that slides under the outer frame.
