roll up tonneau cover questions
im looking at getting a tonneau cover for my 2001 ford f150 supercrew with a 5.5 bed that has the bed extender posts. im wondering if a roll up will fit since the rails clamp to the inside of the bed rails. i had thought about a trifold but dont really like the idea of losing the front 2/3's of the bed with out having to take the whole thing off. so has anyone came across this issue. any info will be appreciated

why not get a tri-fold that folds all the way back to the cab? or something like the Extang Encore tonneau that allows you to open it from either end? Check it out here:

I think a lot of tonneau covers are taking bed access into account. Yes it's annoying to not be able to fully utilize your cargo space. But a lot of designs are now making it easy to access your truck bed.

Our ACCESS Roll-Up Cover should work fine with that bed extender mount. Here is a link to the instructions for installing the cover on your truck, with photos, in PDF Form. It should give you more certainty.

I have used the roll-n-lock for years and love it. It allows you the full use of the bed, but also the security of a metal tonneau cover.

That's why we recommend Black Window Urethane (they have it at the auto parts store) for making our gaskets stick to a spray-in liner.
