I would think that spanning the width of the bed, and having the hinges located between the panels, that you would have a problem with rainwater being funnelled down into the bed??? I have seen some with a "bowed" framework (all one piece) that hinged in the front and raised up for access from the tailgate end. Nice job, BTW. Ken. |

The hinges are countersunk into the edges of the panels, so the panels
actually close flush with each other. They are not 100% watertight seams, but with a little tree junk in there.... The center support panels crown the center of the Tonneau about 3/8", providing positive run-off.

Okay, gotcha. Couldn't see the 3/8" in the photos. Nice job. How big of sheets of that vinyl can you buy? Could it be done in one big blanket over the entire cover? BTW, the outside of your cover is nicer than the inside of my car G Ken. |

The vinyl comes in 56" bolts, and you buy it by the linear yard. It's
cheap- $5 a yard or so depending on where you go. I chose burgundy because the interior of the truck is so, also the trim on the side of the MaXum. They HAVE to match, ya know. The Tonneau measures 72.5" wide, so no, you can't cover a single large panel with one piece.
