They have their place! I recall being at a car show when it started to rain, didn't have my tonneau with me. To clumsy and ackward to set up anyway. THIS looks really easy, rolls up nicely, cache in the trunk and great for quick trips or a sudden rain when your parked!

I would find an alternative to hooking to the sidepipes for the heat problem. Maybe rig up some hooks to fix it to.
