Advance / Fold-A-Cover

Morning all,

Have a quick question for anybody with a little time.

I order a new 600 short box and I am considering the Advance Cover or the Fold-A-Cover. To me they appear to be the same thing. They have the same specs and same locking mechanism.

Has anybody had any experience with either cover?

This is the 4th Ram in the last 7 years, and I just keep making the same mistake. I love the look of the fiberglass covers, but I am damn sick of always pulling it off when I need to haul something big.

I can't use a nylon cover due to the "friendly" people who like to take tools from trucks. The cover needs to be solid and lockable.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanx,
