i have a tekstyle on one of my dak's and and some other kind on the
other..(i will look later) both are snap types and roll all the way
up...however the other one i can remove from the rails completely where
as the tekstyle is sewmed into the fromt rail..after a year the
tekstyles thread is starting to come off the front rail so it is going
to need replacement soon..also the other ones rails are all black making
it look nicer than the tekstyles alum. the bows come out easier on the
other one as well..

My 2 cents.
