Tonneau Cover
I have a 2000 F-150 flair side, short bed, and would like to add a cover over the bed. I don't want a hard cover because I want full height access to the bed quickly. Does anyone have any recommendations on the type or brand of cover to add?

I cant think of the name off the top of my head, but I did buy a soft cover from Pep Boys a while back for another truck that was pretty nice. Pulled tight, never came off and you could still open the tailgate without undoing the top any. It also came with 3 arched bars to keep the top tight and the water from puddling up.

no pics, but I've got a TruckTek on my flairside. I got it off of Ebay for about 150 shipped. It's got the easy clip on frame, the 3 arched bars, and will move in/out about 1/4 in on both ends to adj tightness.

hi, I got a Ford soft tonneau cover off ebay for by 2003 F150 SC Sb.
It came in a Ford Box. Very high quality, on and off in 3 to 5 minutes
with no tools. The cover just rolls up and snaps into place to store.
I have a dirt bike and my cover is on and off a coulpe times a week. The company was out of Alabama or Georgia and deals in over stock
dealer part. Cost to my door was about $150. Dave

I have the fiberglass cover and I hate it. It looks nice and the color matches perfect but it does lock and is alarmed. I bought this type of lid because of my drums. I can't bring everything inside to a gig with one trip so i lock the lid each time. My wife doesn't like a cap and they wanted 700 bucks more for a hard cover that rolls up. The fiberglass lid is a pain and I dont recommend this to anyone unless you want to undo the hardware and get another person to help you lift it off. Then where would you put it?

I bought a ford oem cover on ebay. It is charcoal and fits perfect and is top notch quality. I paid 90 bucks shipped I believe. Get a snapless one, they are much better than the snap one. I have snapless and won't go back to anything else.

Ya go to www.accesscover.com. I bought mine there for my F-150 and it works and looks great. Even in the winter I can use it becasue theres no snaps, Theres a tensioner screw witch is great you may pay alittle more but its worth it. I pick mine up on ebay, but it was a access cover.

Hi! I have a 2003 f150 screw 4x4 and have a hard cover and love it! The one that I have is made by a company called Undercover and I believe the web site is www.undercover.com. I love it because it is not fiberglass but I think it is PVC. Extremly easy to remove and is super light. What really sold me was the guy who installed it had one on his 2004 f250 with a 8 foot bed and had his 8 wheel Argo sitting on top of it tied down and that cover didn't even bend. The only drawback was that it has 2 locks, 1 on each side of the cover to lock it where it should really have a lockable tee handle in the center.
