 Just put one on last weekend with QuikTruk99's assistance. It is a 2 person
 job when it comes to stretching the vinyl. Wel without going on about it,
 their instructions leave alot to be desired. Had to remove the snaps to get
 the vinyl over the rails properly, and shorted me 6 screws. Total holes to
 be drilled is 18 (6 for the hinges,4 for the props, and 8 for the latches).
 Very good construction. I don't have pics yet (I'm not gonna snap pics with
 the winter dirt still on the truck, but this weekend is gonna be in the 60's
 and SUNNY!!!! WOO HOO!!!). Definitely worth the price compared to other
 tonneau's of the same type. It is also very light weight (22lbs).

    Greg,
 I to am considering buying one. My questions are: 1) How flush of a mount is
it? I saw in a picture that the middle support beam seems to really stick
out. How noticeable is it?
2) How tight can you get it? I hate the flopping in the wind effect you get
at speed. This acts like a sail and can slow you down at the track.
Thanks,
Tom
