I just got my snapless tonneau cover from Phil and Kay and thought I would share. I ultimately decided I didn't want to install the original snap type tonneau cover for 4 reasons and this was the best alternative:
  1. I like the clean look of not having the snaps
  2. I read mixed reviews about driving with it unzipped and the passenger side covered (some said it worked, others said it flapped and beat-up their paint. This was the main value in the original set-up in my opinion.
  3. It takes much longer to attached/unattach the snap style and I figured I'd find it a PITA over time and wouldn't use it much. This took me about 30 seconds the first time I put it on.
  4. Doesn't hurt that this is 75% cheaper than a snap style....

Here are some pics:





EDIT: I saw earlier in this thread it was suggested that some post Phillip and Kay Deal's contact info. Here it is wpdeal @ gmail.com. The space in the address is to help with spammers.
