I also found out something important!!

1. Covers that have a vinyl coating like the Roll-N-Lock my not protect your truck cargo very well. ....the "slats" or metal peices that are linked together to make the cover are connceted with a polyeurothane plastic. This means you can cut through the vinyl, then cut through the slats also and get into the cover.

2. Make sure you get a lock for your tailgate (Ford and Doge I believe have locking tailgates) because a theif can just open your tailgate and steal your stuff, even if the bed cover is locked!!

I have a hard shell with lock that over hangs the tailgate and the tail gate lock (Ford). If someone wants in, it takes almost no effect to break in. It'll help to keep the snoopers out, but not a thief.

You can't just open the tailgate without opening the roll n lock, even if you don't have a locking tailgate. My tailgate doesn't lock and you can't get in unless you break the roll n lock cover. When it's closed it locks to the tailgate with it.

That's good, it's one of the few. However, your roll-n-lock's vinyl can be cut through and you can cut through the soft material that connects the metal stats together and still steal your stuff!

I would not like to have to open my cover every time I open my tailgate, nor would I bother locking a vinyl cover. I would rather a thief not cut through it.

It's just vinyl that is over the metal slats. The vinyl is glued to the metal. The reason for this (I was told by the manufacturer) was to prevent the slats from freezing toether during the inclement weather. We are not talking about vinyl covers.

So Gerald,
What are you going with? I'm getting to the point of data overload! It's a given that you and I won't need the protection against Freezing the slats together in the Roll n Lock, but I'm kinda bummed about it not being as secure as I was hoping it would be! It's making me think about getting a Topper!
BTW, thanks for jumping on board on this thread and doing all this data mining!
Dean

I sell both the pace edwards jackrabbit and the roll and lock. Each has one with a metal finish and a vinyl covered finish. I'll post what we can do on them. The pace edwards is easier to install and they just dropped a bit. The roll and lock I can do for 820 , the pace edwards , jackrabbit vinyl like the roll and lock is 850 , they have a hard metal top too. Their roll top , like the roll and lock is 800 . They are all close in price. Pace has the best warranty ane we install more of them. All are in stock but the bad news is shipping. Definatly truck freight. I'd have to call the trucking co for a quote on these. Look at the pace , www.pace-edwards.com. They also make a actuator to lock and unlock your tailgate w door locks and factory keless entry. No drilling into the tailgate like the roll and lock.
