The only 2 reasons I would not like an Access tonneau cover is that It's not as flush mounted as my Bakflip F1 and the vinyl material will not hold up under heavy snow loads as well as the Bakflip. The Access cover does not have the UV protection the Bakflip F1 does over a long period.
The only thing I like about the Access is that it doesn't block the rear window view when rolled up.
Only time will tell but the extra $400 for the Bakflip F1 I'm confident will prove to be money well spent.

It did not discolor in the sun.
The vinyl went through the car wash many, many times.
After six years, the velcro continued to work and work well.
It supports snow loads without messing up (I've personally seen 20" of wet snow on it).
It worked when stupid cold.
It worked when hot.
When a kid at the hardware store broke something, Access sent me a replacement part at their cost within the first two minutes on the phone.
It is a superior roll-up.
And I've another one on order for my new truck.

I had it on my 03 Superduty & it's still going strong. Sold the truck to one of my employees & he unrolls it everyday to unload his tools. I liked it best for the fact I could roll it up to use the 5th wheel hitch. My 07 Tundra also has one. My 2012 EB has a Penda hard cover (was added for a previous customer who backed out of the deal) which I will try to sell so I can add another Access cover

yes true that i blocks the rear view mirror.
but i'd rather a hard cover that someone can't cut then a roll back one. besides if you have a rear view camera like me it won't make a difference!

I bought an Access Lorado a couple weeks ago. After installing(very simple and easy to follow instructions) I noticed some wrinkles in the vinyl on the ds near the front. Nothing major but a little annoyed that I had bought a new cover and it was a little flawed. Called Access direct and talked to customer service. They asked for a photo and ser. #. I sent that and in less than a week I had a new vinyl replacement cover (not the entire unit but just the vinyl portion). I have decided to leave the "flawed cover on for a while and maybe change down the road a few years if it starts looking a little weathered. Great service and lifetime warranty. The cover looks real good and is very user friendly. Got a great price from Truck alterations. Would recommend this cover to anyone. The tri-folds are nice but do not like them when folded up against the back window.
