We bought from BMECovers.com IIRC.
I've been envying my brother's lifting soft tonneau lately. It hinges
at the front of the bed and comes off in about 15 seconds, without
having to unsnap the fabric - you lift it off all as one piece (frame &
fabric) after popping the struts off the mounts on the bed.
