topper or tonneau?

[rushingbc]

So I have a Leer 100XQ topper on the truck right now, and I like it because it keeps the weather off my crap......

But I've been thinking of how to save some weight latetly in search of quicker ET's, so I'm thinking of selling the Leer and buying a retractable hard top tonneau.

400lbs vs 50 lbs

Has anyone tried one of these retractable tonneaus, and do you like it?

I have this one on my truck and love it. Pat can take it completely off in 5 min's also

being a soft top does it kinda flutter as you are driving down the road?

 

[Kat]

No it doesn't make any noise what so ever.

We found the soft top works well to over 175mph.

Always good to know.

Nice, I'll bet that testing was never done by the manufacturer.

doesn't seem to secure tho, a thief would have no prob. Retrax would seem to be more secure and u can actually stand on it, doesn't quite look as cheap either.

I have had good results w/my Retrax. I added a tailgate lock for added security.
