Keep up the good work!

Coming from you Bondo that means a lot. Thanks.

I have noticed a definite positive effect on FE and it looks like the lid will be on for good unless I need the extra space in the bed. Next step is to incorporate a hinge system that allows me to flip it up from the rear like a solid tonneau cover with gas strut supports.

The coroplast really doesn't like the heat and tends to sag and buckle when the temps hit the 30 C range. Any lightweight alternatives out there that you can think of?? (I'm not good at all with fiber and resin so that is out)

Thanks
