I have an Extang soft tonneau on my Dak (its the "good" model with the
frame and bows to hold it up) and I say invest in a good hard tonneau!
It will repay you in the long run with less headaches! Mine puddles up
with water at the least bit of rain (even with the bows adjusted all the
way up) and it absolutely will NOT hold up to snow. I hate this cover
so much, when I finally buy the hard tonneau, I believe I'll build a
bonfire with this one. TRUST ME! A hard tonneau is a whole lot better
in the long run!
