Pace Edwards sucks. We used to install them at the dealer I worked for, and people were always coming in because they would get out of adjustment. One guy, every year, on the dot, would come in. We finally stopped selling them.

Retrax, on the other hand, I have never heard a bad thing about (except for the big box on the front, but that'll be true for any roll up).

i guess.....problem is snow...i need to be able to open and close it several times during the snowstorm while i plow to get to my salt....

i am afraid of it getting jammed up full of snow...and of the space i will lose..

man...fold-a-cover is looking good....

extang sells a hard folder too, but you need to open tailgate to open it...when i have my salter on the hitch i can;t open tailgate...

i though of a hard tilt...but can i jump in and out of bed while it's up to load salt??? and then if i need to haul large stuff...too bad...

i also thought of a soft roll up...but then i got no security in city...with my tools...so...

i honestly never knew of folding hard covers till last night...news to me..thought they all were soft...

You might want to take a look at our Access Roll-Up Cover. They were designed for use in extreme weather conditions (our factory is in North Dakota). As far as your security issues, it would take a lot of effort to break into one of these.
