Does anyone else have a tonneau like this? I need the brand or where it was purchased.

Thank you,

Perfect! Thanks for asking this question Heath, I've been looking too. I originally wanted fiberglass, but can't afford it now and I'm not sure I want to remove it every time I want to use the bed.

I want mine to store my car cover and spare tire.

I'll be checking out that websight too. Great question and answer.

WadmalawJoe · 01-10-2013, 09:15 AM

I would like to request more pictures!
I plan on putting a cover on mine.
I don't like the exposed stake holes along the cover though. What good is the cover when the rain will run off the cover and down the holes? I know they have caps for those holes, but you would have to seal them on to keep water out.

Any issues with paint rubbing? And do you have to drill any holes?

I have no issues with rubbing & its a clamp on design with no holes drilled.
It does have 3M tape on the bracket at the front of the bed but that can always be removed.

How's the quality? If it sits outside all the time, would you think the color might fade? maybe neither of you know. I'm guessing both of your trucks are garage kept, seeing as they are both super clean and in great shape.

The subtle arch it what sold me on this cover to begin with.

Quality is nice but my truck lives a sheltered lifestyle so I dont know about fading.

In most of my pictures (like the 1st one) you can't even see the cover because of the low profile...

Mine is same manufacture but on a step side. Garage kept so can't say much about outside durablity in the elements. But simple to remove or roll up if you desire to do either. The price is reasonable too. See them on E Bay often.

How much water does these covers allow when washing or in rain ? My truck is garage kept but looking for a cover for power tour this summer to hid spare etc .

It is not water tight you will get small amount in the bed where the cover meets the tailgate I have been in torrential rain and all my stuff back there did not get wet however I did get some water in but not enough to be concerned

Thanks

From the Craftec website:

airbrushguy · 02-16-2013, 01:24 PM

TobyArnot, that's great. Is it a bought cover or custom-made? How does it attach?
If it's custom-made, I could sure use details.
Thanks

Nico1969 · 02-14-2013, 04:22 AM

Thanks for the guidance guys, looks like the Crafttecinc is the way to go... Any suggestions on how I might fill the stud holes from this tonneau without going and painting the whole bucket?

heathbirkendahl · 02-14-2013, 02:22 PM

Pics after install.
