Right... maybe. I do like a lot about it. The blocking the rear view is kind of annoying, but I guess better than not being able to haul the item because you had nowhere to store the cover.

The other issue is that any tonneau that you release by opening the gate and pulling a string - it might as well not lock. All you have to do is slide a hanger in there and pull the string.

I was originally leaning toward one of these. But I don't like that it takes up space inside the bed (about 10"x10"). With a folding one I can jam more stuff under the cover when it's open, like a bicycle or the the end of a kayak.

I don't have anywhere near the room for something like that, inside or outside the garage. The cap is officially out.
