Seth,
I like the chryco tonneau too and was also wondering who made it... Be real
careful about the adjustment and also you may want to look at the inner
edges of the cover and remove and "bumps" left over from the chopper gun mfg
process with a grinder to avoid paint scratching (mine got scratched real
good and had to have the tailgate re-painted. ) I also put locknuts (double
nutted) & loctite on the adjustment screws to keep the scratching from
re-occuring. The lock is a Southco Item. You may be able to replace it
with a T-handle model If you can find a Southco contact. I like the T Key
since it leaves a sleek appearance (cap over the lock is a little obtrusive
and wimpy) once removed. All in All I guess Id reccomend this tonneau if
weight isnt your main concern.

Got a chance to try out the tonneau with steady highway mileage this
weekend.
Got more improvement than we got with commute driving. Saw around 3 MPG
improvement over what we saw before. I definitely recommend a tonneau.
One thing we don't like about the Chrysler tonneau is the latching
mechanism.
You have to use a key to latch/unlatch it. A t-bar handle would be better.
Does anyone know who makes the cover for Chrysler?
Thanks,
Seth
