I just traded my 2019 Ridgeline for a 2023. The old one had the dealer-supplied hard folding tonneau cover, but didn’t allow full bed access. Looking for recommendations on a tonneau that allows full access, security not a big issue. Lots of roll-ups available with mixed reviews. Thoughts? TY.

@Rickydee
Guess that would depend on what your criteria is, roll up or lockable.
I have one of these and it is an easy install.
It says through 21 but I'm guessing that beings how the box/bed of our Ridgelines have probably NOT changed that it would fit perfectly?

Installed my North Mountain cover yesterday.
I've found a used OEM cover on CL for $400, but went with NM cover cuz of huge weight difference.
There are few things I would like to se redesigned, but I like the vinyl and built quality.
Will see how long the vinyl would last under the TX sun.

Well my North Mountain only had a few small leaks in front and its because of an issue with the bed rail. Up front near the cab the 90* bed rail angle has a flat groove that goes right into the bed compartment, and under most tonneau cover weather strip. Its about as wide as Popsicle stick (almost exactly in fact).

If you take a Popsicle stick and slide it into that groove you will see it goes directly into the bed - a great place for rain to intrude when driving at speed. Taking that same Popsicle stick and use it to push some 3M strip caulk in there will fix the issue and is invisibe. If ou are willing to remove the cover you could put some closed foam weatherstip in there instead. View attachment 430808

How much of your foam seal strip is squeezed between the front rail and plastic bed cover?
I've installed my cover so the forward vinyl bulge is touching the C-pillar panels, but half or so of the seal strip is just hanging unused/ uncompressed.

Don't knock stock.

I get that it's not for everyone, but I like my OEM cover. And it was relatively cheap when I bought it.

I agree. I think the stock cover is best compromise between ease of use, being fully removable, not interfering with trunk and leaving most space below.

I prefer a hard trifold cover
I have a Rugged II cover with the Honda brackets which is close to the stock hard cover.as site member @ Phineas recommended which eliminates the "rail system" for securing the clamps to make your cover virtually impenetrable.
Very secure system

I don't, but for me the OEM price of $1100 and 71 lb weight make no sense...

It's all good, and I'm not selling them, but for the record it doesn't feel like anywhere near 71#. I'm pretty old and not really a workout guy, and it's a lot easier than a 60lb bag of concrete mix, for example - I'd guess 40, maybe 45#.

Wow, that is quite a price increase from even two years ago for the Honda cover.

In 2020 - early pandemic time - my dealer matched the price of a 3rd-party OEM tonneau provider. I was there getting an oil change, asked if they wanted to compete with the price, and they did. Don't know if they'd do it now, but saved me at least $300, and if something had been wrong with it I could've taken it right back.

Shipping definitely an issue. Some places won't ship even after you order on the website. Wouldn't hurt to call despite what the website says. I once ordered from Majestic and they called me back saying that they don't ship due to high rates of damage. Got a refund and went with Bernardi.

The Honda cover does not seem like it is worth $1200-1400 (including shipping) to me.

BK Honda Parts sells it for $789 + shipping, which to me would be $328 (near Cincinnati) so $1117, but there's a discount code that cuts the shipping charge by 50%, so currently $957 to me. That's $131 more than in 2020. I bought one then, but as mentioned before I asked my Honda dealer if they wanted to compete with that, and they matched it.

I only saw a 25% off shipping discount, which still puts it over $1000.
I personally wouldn't spend that much, but judging from some of the posts on this site, many have no qualms about spending multiple thousands of dollars on accessories, warranties, ect.

The 50% code they provided 2 years ago still worked for me today when I looked at the price/total cost: BKP50

No judgement on others, but I myself don't buy a lot of add-ons - in three years just mats, cargo net, trunk/storage bin dividers and the tonneau, which was my one spurge, and so far it feels like a fair value to me.
