Thanks! (Is this the same guy you bought yours from?)

: Looks like the same price across the board, even for Rams.
Ironically, with the DiRT discount, the SportMasters tonneau is
the exact same price $315. So that pretty much eliminates price as
a factor - now I guess I have to figure out which is a better cover -
Downey or SportMasters. Although I haven't seen it in person, I
like the concept behind the way the "snaps" on the Downey work -
especially if they slide - do you know how far they will actually
slide? Do you think it would be possible to unhook the back and
"accordian" the cover, sliding it up to the front of the bed, or
wouldn't it go that far?

I took a look at the truck again and I doubt it will matter a whole
lot - it would have to have something like a foot and a half to two
feet un-hinged in order to lift the tonneau all the way.

Great, thanks!
