How do u like my New Truxedo Tonneau Cover on 84 GMC?

I have been wanting one of these covers forever but never wanted to put those snap buttons on the metal.

This thing is great- Very easy to install and I can keep my ladder rack.

Now I need to figure out how I can lock the tailgate.

Is it possible to install a power actuator in the tailgate?
How about installing a Blazer tailgate lock?

Thanks

That looks good! Does the cover itself lock?

Thanks- No, the cover does not have a lock.

Its a soft cover and is held by industrial strength Velco strips.....Its awesome

Just need to get a lock for the tailgate...Someone posted here that they installed a Power lock actuator in the tailgate and then ran the wire into the cabin and was controlled by a switch.

Just want to confirm that this is possible.

Thanks

Very nice. My opinion - best tonneau cover on the market today. Good choice!
