Gaylord Tonneau Covers - A Review of the TL-Series

The company claims that the cover can be self-installed and that no special tools or drilling is required. While this is true, you are probably going to need a pair of helping hands when you install it.Folks like hard tonneau covers because they are generally more weather-tight than soft versions. The double neoprene seals that come with the TL-Series will stop any water penetration of the bed of the truck, even when doing long highway motoring.If you think you will be taking off your cover frequently (when you need to haul large cargo) you might regret buying a fiberglass lid. While taking off the TL-Series can be done by one person, putting it back on really is a two-man operation.

And, if you do remove the cover, you've got the problem of finding adequate storage space in your garage.Directly fitted on to the frame are two hydraulically operated struts, which the company calls the EZ Lift Hinge Assist System. What this actually means is that when you open the lid, the hinges automatically lift up the lid into the fully open position.
