I have a Mopar Soft tonneau that I LOVE.
The top is black canvas over vinyl. It snaps onto a frame that tips up
about 1/3 back from the cab so you can get full access to 2/3 of the bed.
If I need to haul cargo or something tall, I can unsnap it, roll it up. If
it will slide under the tipped up frame, I just drop the coverless frame
over it. If not, the ribs can be removed quickly due to the use of ball
detent pins that lock them in place.
All in all, a rearrangement of the top for cargo is about 2-3 minutes when
neccesary.
It keeps the water out quite well. Been on for 2 years, and never a problem
beyond the occasional tightening of a few of the allen screws in parts of
the frame.
Sorry, I don't have the part number or price. I won it in a raffle at a
meet.
