Tonneau Covers
Looking at the Access Agri roll up covers and the Lund Genesis Roll up Cover; of the two I really dont see much difference other than more personal preferences towards the Agri Covers. Both have lifetime warranties too.
Would I be better of with one or the other or are they both pretty equal?

If I was buying a soft cover it would definitely be the roll up kind. I don't think you can go wrong with either. Are they the same money?
I had an Extang that was very durable - I would buy from them again.

Access End of story. I just took a truxcedo LoPro off my Superduty. In favor of another Toolbox Edition.
Truxedo LoPro- It sagged in the middle, the velcro sides were extremely tight while It would hold gallons of water in the middle. The front bar, was angled up when I tightened it, flipping out the dirt seal. I can't believe the movement the front bar had, no wonder it has springs to keep it only so tight. With the front bar able to tilt alot, it put a bind on the spring cylinder which didn't allow the spring to compress. After having 2 different access covers the latch on the truxedo was hard to remember how to operate it. Do I push or pull? Where the Access covers have always been pull to undo.
So, I have a Truxedo LoPro. that I won't sell to anybody I like, because I've never had a cover that stretched that bad.
My brother has a Lund on his pickup, and it is what it is. A cheap cover.

I have bought two of the Access roll-ups. One for a 97 F-150 Short Bed, Sold truck then sold cover on E-bay. The other on 99 F-250 SD Long Bed.
Great cover and holds up very will. Plus they work when it is very cold outside or even in heavy wet snow. Had 8 inches of the wet stuff fall on it one night with no problems. I did remove the snow ASAP that morning, one fast corner and it was on the road and not on the cover.

I've never had a problem with my Truxedo Lopro stretching, even with three feet of wet snow on top. I've been using it for over 2 years and it works great. Keeps stuff dry underneath, and rolls up and stores nicely when pulling the fifthwheel or hauling large items.

I vote for the Truxedo LoPro. I have never had a cover this easy to use, remove and easy to keep clean no matter what the weather. I have used it from 95 degrees Farenheit to minus 30 Farenheit and had no problems.

I was just looking at roll up covers over the weekend. I'm not ready to buy so I don't remember the brand names, but two features that caught my eye of one of them was a lower profile velcro edge (less than 45^) and when it was rolled up it had limiters that would hold the "roll" away from the cab so it didn't beat the heck out of the paint/glass. I wanna say it was an Access but I can't be sure. In a few months when I'm ready to buy I will be going with this one.
