shopman1 Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 No, I did lots of checking and no one will accomodate the tailgate cap. I took it off and purchased a new one and painted it. Then put an ARE conver one. It's nice. it locks with the remote SS locking system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rays B4U Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 I too would like a cover but I need one that is lockable, can withstand heavy snow and also be able to be partially opened in order to put a tall pet carrier in it. I have been looking at the Pace Edwards retractable hard tonneau cover. Pace Edwards Their dealer quoted me a price $620.00 which includes shipping to the continental US only. Has anyone seen one in person, or have any experience with one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2xtreme Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 I don't know much about the hard covers, but I will say from experiance that tek-style is probably the best soft cover out there. Mine never cracked, faded, or held water Just my $.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterSS Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Just picked up an Access Roll-up Cover this morning. Had an ARE hard lid on my '02 Z71 and really liked it. Was very happy with the ARE lid, the only downside is if you want to haul something home that is taller than your bed side. Going to do the installation of the new roll-up cover on the SS in the next couple of days. I'll take some pictures and share my first impressions.

SinisterSS Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Just completed the installation of the Access Roll-Up cover tonight. From cutting the box open to the final details took about 90 minutes. Instructions were good and the install was really easy. Only thing needed is a 9/16" wrench. Probably could do the next one in about half the time. The latching system on the cover is slick. Now I need to get a tailgate lock to finish off this project. Any suggestions for a brand that ties into the multiplexed door-lock wiring on the 2003s? Since my SS is only 3 days old (over 500 miles already ), got its first bath today and there's a chance of rain tomorrow, hopefully I can sneak in a few pictures showing the cover better in the daylight. Here's the kit fresh out of the box... Cover closed and latched... Cover half way open (note the aluminum cross bars)... Cover rolled-up and restrained at the front...

rmcswain Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Sinister, The access is a nice looking rig, looks almost as good as your SS After some use lets us know your thoughts on the access and did you have to remove the tailgate cover?? to install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterSS Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 No need to remove the tailgate cover. Here's the condensed installation... 1. Clamp on the two side rails level with the truck bed (4 clamps per side). 2. Set the Access Cover on top of the rails. 3. Attach the tension adjusters (4 bolts). 4. Close the cover. 5. Adjust tension. Super easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlman Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Looks like velcro for fastening the cover - have you had any issues with that in the past? Nice truck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
