Wanted to get your inputs on what tonneau cover the majority of Ridgeline owners prefer and why. Seems that so many of the ROC members are split on what's the best, the strongest and which one keeps the bed the driest. I gathered what I could from the forums and if I missed any then go ahead and reply and add your opinions. I'll be in the market sometime soon.

From my research the new bakflips are pretty good. The plus is it folds up to protect you rear window if need be. You can also add a pop and lock to make sure everything is safe and sound.

I have the bakflip and I like it for the cost reasons, and the function of the cover.

Hi everyone I had a access soft top and loved it if I needed the truck as a truck I could just roll it up39796
BakFlip was our choice & happy with it. Decent price, 2 day delivery, easy to install, flexabilty of use - # panels olded back, ease to take off. Not too bad in the wet weather.

I just installed a Truxedo Lo Pro QT a few weeks ago. I really like it. It does leak some water in the corners but nothing major, (I probably just need to readjust it a little), but it does what I wanted and the price wasn't too bad. Overall I'm very pleased with it. One of these days I'll snap a picture :)

I bought the bakflip g2 for $750. I'm not sure how the other brands work or their cost. This one is working fine for me. Except one plastic side piece that covers the removed front upper tie downs before installing the cover, was missing. Our sites distributor said Bakflip said they weren't needed, that is a lie! The water would pour in through the indentation so I used temporary black duck tape to cover the area before installing my bakflip cover. I have a bed mat that will keep a small amount of water off my cargo. I will call Bakflip this coming week and ask why their engineers feel that their bed cover doesn't need to keep my cargo dry.

WHAT? REMOVE THE UPPER TIE DOWNS. THATS CRAZY! One of the best things about the RL is having the different tie down options from 6 anchor points. anyways, I want something to be able to use to keep cargo dry when camping, but remove it when i want 100% bed space to use when hauling? i was thinkin a good soft cover that rolls up or a cap. ANYONE?

Nice cover, PortoRidgeline. I have the same one :D
I used a piece of black duct tape to cover each 'hole' where the Front Tie Downs were. This stops water from getting inside the bed.
