I have the Snug-Top hard cover and love it, but it IS a bit of a challenge
to remove.

Subject: DML: Hinged soft tonneau recommendations?
Hi Folks!
Just fishing to see if I can get some recommendations for a tonneau
cover for my '90 Dak. I would like a soft tonneau cover, and I'm
looking for the type that hinge at the front so the whole tonneau can
be lifted (usually they have a couple of gas shocks to help lift it
and hold it open). However, I also want to be able to detach the
tonneau at any point. (i.e. if I wanted to un-do the front right
corner to carry something tall there without removing the entire tonneau,
I could do that.) I would prefer one which uses something other than
snaps to attach to the frame. (I had a tonneau like that once, the snaps
are a bear to attach, and they rust. A no-drill install would be nice,
but not absolutely necessary. Since it is going on a convertible, it
should sit as flush as possible, especially at the front of the bed (i.e.
not a huge arc on the bows)
That's not asking too much, is it? ;-)
I did see a tonneau cover like this at a show once. I think you could
unhook the back, and then basically slide the tonneau up the frame,
all the way to the cab if you wanted to, and it would also detach at
any point, but I have no idea who to check for manufacturers and such -
I thought I would check here to see if anyone has a tonneau like this,
or knows who makes one.
As usual, I'm looking for a quality product at a reasonable price.
Thanks very much in advance!!
