FWIW
For those interested in a hard Tonneau cover I wanted to tell you about mine.
It is a "Jason" Hugger . It is fiberglass and it is the kind that wraps
around the top of the Bed. It has a rubber seal underneath all the way
around. Another nice feature is that it is color matched to your vehicle.
That means that they use the same color as the vehicle manufacturer and I
guess even to the clear coat. This means that the color is suposed to fade
right along with your truck so it always matches. Anyway thats the idea. If
you have a Bedliner it should be the under the rail kind so as not to
interfere with the seal. It's not cheap, mine was $675, plus tax, installed.
But it is a sturdy cover with a lock and key. Although it is made to come off
easily, my dealer reccomended I use 3 people to remove and replace it.

I have a 98 cc with a soft cover. I will never buy another soft cover,
Everyone that I see going down the road is vibrating like hell and flapping
in the wind. You just can't get them tight enough and get them sealed good
enough to keep the air from getting under it beating it to death. I am going
to get a one piece flip top cover made by Urban Industries out of Gallion
Ohio I can't remember the name of the cover
( maybe Fastback II ) but I have seen them made and they are a high quality
piece
