Look up Retrax. It's an awsome cover. I'm biased, but I've seen all of the others fail, but mine has 80K on it and it's still rolling right along.

I've had a Fold-a-Cover on my 04' 3500 for four years and it's been great.
I just put one on the 08' and they've improved the latches and openers.
It takes more than a pocket knife to get past it. It won't stop a determined thief with a pry-bar, but neither will any other cover I know of.

I have the PE... been on for four years on still does what it is supposed to. But it isn't the greatest either. I'd go retrax if I do it again.

I had Retrax on mine for 2 or 3 years ... until about 2 weeks ago when I needed to remove it to make room for stacks!

Loved the cover though! Didn't really have any issues except during the winter when water would sometimes get into the locking mechanism and prevent it from unlatching and opening the cover. Really only happened during freezing rain which wasn't often.

It does take up about 10" or 12" of bed space so if you have a short bed plan accordingly.

I have the roll bak cover and I would not reccommend it. The quality is not as advertised and when warranty contact was attempted, I made 4 phone calls and never a returned call.... First and last I will buy.
