Tonneau Cover

[pdac1975]

Hello, can anyone recommend a decent inexpensive soft tonneau cover for a short bed '83 K10? Also, I'm going to have linex applied to the bed, will having it done over the rails prevent me from installing a tonneau cover?
Thanks very much!

What do you consider inexpensive?

Yes you can install the tonneau cover with your bedliner being sprayed over the rails.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking something under $500. Also, is there any reason NOT to have the bedliner sprayed over the rails?
Thanks again.

I wouldn't have it sprayed over the rails for a few reasons. If you ever decide you don't want it there anymore for appearance reasons, good luck getting it back off. IMHO, it would look silly with the liner sticking out past the cover. It will make for a poor sealing surface and a good amount of water could make it past the cover. The bedside's rails shouldn't need protected anyway, since the cover's rails will be clamped down there (they should take the beating before the bedside).

Thanks very much. That definitely makes sense.
