Tonneau bed cover???
Damn I can decide what freakin cover to buy? I had a fiberglass one piece on my last truck but it had its drawbacks mainly being ahuge pita to take off and more importantly put back on by myself. It was doable but I did end up with a couple of dings in the back of the cab before its time was up as a result. Now I have my spanking new truck and I was leaning towards a folding cover like a bakflip or Trifecta but I read that they arent really that water tight which would suck for me. Being up in Toronto the primary reason for the cover is to protect the stuff I put in there from the elements ( mainly the snow and road salt/grime/crap ) and to be lockable for security reasons. I wont do a cap they are just too ugly for my tastes. Anyways I digress does anyone have a tri-fold and regret not getting a fiberglass hinge? Recommend a brand or model? Any winter users with a tri-fold? Thanks

BTW it wouldn't be hard to make water tight, its extremely close now.

It looks nice but I need a solid cover up here as the snow and ice load destroys soft covers pretty quickly. I learned that the hard way 25 yrs ago with my first truck and a soft tonneau cover
