Hi everyone,
I just got my new Torza Top Premier tonneau cover a few days ago and took some pictures of it. I'm really impressed. I had been looking for just the right tonneau and this was as close as I could get to what I wanted but when I saw that it was available in vinyl-backed fabric, that did it for me. It has no snaps, or velcro, actually you can't even open the tonneau without unlatching it from underneath. It folds up when needed in and can be removed from the truck without dimattling the thing. Here are some pics.

That looks like a nice cover. It looks there are no rails or brackets left on the truck when you remove the cover? Is that the case? Could you take a few more pics of the hardware? If so, I mave just found a cover. :) Sorry fo rall the questions. 8)
Thanks!

Yep, QW, there is practically no hardware left on the truck when its removed. The only brackets that are left behind are the ones that allow the top to mount to the utili-trac. If you don't have the utili-trac then the tonneau clamps to the bed rail lip. It actually came fully assembled and the bag with the four brackets.
Here are some more pics:

I was just curious about what you paid for the cover. We have recently picked up Torz-A-Top and I want to know if we can be competitive with the pricing.
Thanks

looks good. I got 1 too but it's the vinyl shiny looking 1. yours is the premier that has a cloth like top.
I agree on the ease of install. the only quirk is that if you have a bed extender you can't slide it all the way back. It's about 6 inches short of the tailgate.
I was happy to get it. btw I bought mine used for a great price.

I don't use the bed extender, but it's good to know that. Sounds like a mod needs to take care of that. It it because the mounting bracket gets in the way? Take some pics.

I'm sure you could attach a piece to the sliders for the sliding bed extender that will allow you to attach the rear of the cover in the same way. I'm working on a patent for it right now... Not really, but I'm sure if you wanted to make the part it would be easy. Even bolting a 1/2 inch Al. "angle iron" to the slider may do the trick.

you can see that when the clamp is closed you can't slide the bed extender all the way back. You can slide the bracket mount and the extender after you open the top. It's just more time consuming.
