Tonneau Cover
Anyone use or seen a CheckMate tonneau cover? I like the price and am looking for a hard flush tonneau. Any pics or experiences would be appreciated.

Had one on mine when I purchased it....rather aged and leaked on the corners...
Went to a Gaylord, comes down over the sides and tailgate. No leaks or problems. And she secures the tailgate against theft issues. Little more money but worth it. And they color match if possible.

I also have the Checkmate. The cover doesn't latch.....the struts pull it down tight. Mine's a fleetside and I put locks on both rear corners. The lock goes under the lip of the top bedside. I guess you would have to put a bracket somewhere on a stepside for the lock. I don't take my truck out in the wet weather but I do really like the cover. I've had it about 4 years and it is holding up just fine.
