Both aluminum and vinyl folding Tonneau covers are attached to the truck bed by stainless steel rods. Most of these rods require minor drilling along the ridges of the bed, but many snap into the bed. Once, installed, they securely hold the cover over the bed. Most folding Tonneau covers have locks over the tailgate that lock both the cover and the tailgate, making theft very difficult. Folding covers made from either type of material are lightweight and easy to operate. Each individual panel weighs only a few pounds.

They keep cargo out of sight, helping to avoid any theft. They ... protect the cargo from the elements and can withstand the toughest conditions. Covers can be used in any weather condition and you can be assured that the objects underneath these coverswon't become damaged.

The beauty of the Rail System Tonneau Cover is the fasteners that attach the cover to the frame. The cover has the appearance of a hard Tonneau cover yet, upon closer inspection, the feel of a soft cover giving your truck that custom look. The fasteners are hidden underneath and use a special key for opening,increasing the security of your cover.The design of these fasteners will not allow grime or grit to accumulate as when snaps are used. These new fasteners are designed to spread the stress on the fabric over a much greater area of the marerial (snaps put all the stress on a small !/8" hole). These fasteners are manufactured with nylon resins, and work well in all weather conditions.

Fiberglass or hard plastic tonneau covers are quite popular because they have what is generally agreed upon to be the best appearance. They tend to be painted to match the truck (unlike the other styles which are generally black), they are solid in construction, and they can be locked making them more secure than the other options. These covers are usually heavy and require gas struts to assist in opening and closing. They operate much like a vehicles hood, typically opening from the tailgate end of the bed (back to front). However, some are available with multiple compartments that will open front to back, back to front, or side to side. Fiberglass or hard plastic tonneau covers are sometimes installed as a factory option with some new vehicles, such as the Chevrolet Avalanche, Ford Sport Trac, and Honda Ridgeline (to name a few).
