I just recently bought a tonneau cover for my truck. The brand name is Omar and it is a soft snap
cover for a chevy sportside vehicle.

does anyone know of a website that offers there products or at the very least a website for the
company itself or a phone number I can call?

I bought the cover new and it didn't come with any clamps to hold the rails in place.

Thanx

Mike

I debated on a hard cover for a few days until I saw the price tag on one. $968 cdn before taxes.
So after seeing that price I said screw it. Good decision tho because a few days after that
noticed one on a truck similiar to mine and the hard cover made it look... well... made it look gay.

:) I guess that's the best way to describe it

A company called Caps Plus deals with stepside hard or soft covers. A stepside is basically
bringing the size of the box to a 1/4 ton top

I put a cover on my truck that is not only good looking but very easy to
use. It is called "Access" and has Velcro side attachments on rails that
clamp to the inside lip of the box. No holes to drill and is a very clean
simple installation. I'm very happy with it. '

I used to have a hard cover and found it to limiting and cumbersome. I'd
never spend that kind of money again.

I have had an Access cover on my 97 K1500 from new. It is still in
excellent condition. The only thing I have had to do to it was replace the
hook part of the Velcro strip. The adhesive on the original one went bad
and came loose. I got new self adhesive hook material from 3M and it has
been great since.

I am surprised that after 8 years, the vinyl is still in great shape.

The features of the Access cover I like best are the fact that you can
tighten up the cover with a couple simple adjustments and that the rails do
not cover the bed rails (clamp to the inside) so the paint will not only
stay on the bed rails, but will not fade differently so when I remove the
cover some day I will not see a fade line.
