I had a Performance soft tonneau cover on my old S-10 and loved it. It
came with a zipper near the cab to access anything that might have slip
to the back. You can also put a load bar to keep things near the cab
and access them through the zipper. It uses aluminum rails screwed to
the bed then the cover attaches to the rails by a piece of hard rubber
that fits into a grove. Very secrue and tight. Mount the tailgate rail
to the truck bed so you can open the tailgate without removing the
cover. Run the bow lenght way for better aerodynamic. Wind will not
catch the second rail when ran sideways. I found this cover to be the
only cover taht would work with a bed liner that covered the top of the
bed rails. The only water leakage was around the zipper when the truck
was parked with the front of the truck lower than the back.
P.S. Very easy to put on and take off.
Good luck!
