Mike:
As another old fart (54) who also loves the Dak and has a soft tonneau,
here's my take on the subject. I got an Extang Sabre which is snapless.
It has a very tailored look and is easy to put on and take off. Being in
San Antonio, I was worried about sun damage. I have been using the 303
protectant on it and it still looks new (over a year old).
Your truck sounds very nice; I hope you are as happy with it as I am with
mine.
