Tonneau Cover Fitting a Bent Bed
Hey Everyone,
I have a question in regards to fitting a tonneau cover on my longbed. In the picture, at the front of the bed, right below the middle of the cab, the bed is bent outward towards the cab (a couple of inches) which obviously doesn't make it straight in the front. I'm not familiar with the tonneau covers out there. I don't need a high speed one but I would like something simple to cover the top up. I also know that water proofing is out of the question. Are there covers out there that will still cover my truck?

Re: Tonneau Cover Fitting a Bent Bed

Re: Tonneau Cover Fitting a Bent Bed
Are you looking for a old school type with snaps or a hard one?
The hard one I had made was cut to my specs but for the $ I wouldn't do it to a bent bed. A soft snap on one would probably stretch enough to cover it up. Either way I'd say it would be best to just straighten the panel and then get the cover.
