Downey SST Tonneau Cover


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

I am looking for a Tonneau Cover and I have been searching online for a new one and I have come accross this one:

 

http://www.tonneaucoversone.com/catalog ... egory/117/

 

Its supposedly made for the Comanche comanche.gif , but I have my reservations.

 

Has anyone ever bought one of these, and if so are they any good?

 

thanks in advance. :thumbsup:

Can't comment on this exact one, but I bought a Downey (think it was SST) for my swb over 10 years ago and it fits great and is still in real good shape. I keep my 'manche garaged as much as possible, and keep the cover conditioned with a vinyl cleaner, and when it snows, try to keep it brushed off. I also regularly wash my truck and chamois it, including the tonneau.

 

BTW, did a quick search on that site using the part number they give in your link and it does not show up for any other vehicle, so I would say it is a very good possibility it is for the 'manche swb only. Then, I swiped the link just in case! :brows:

I did not find any reviews for the Comanche one but similar models for other vehicles did have good results.

 

knowing that it doesn't claim to fit 20 other vehicles does raise my confidence about it, and knowing that the brand is durable helps too.

 

Thanks guys. :thumbsup:

Order that puppy and put it on! You will be happy! But, keep it in good shape! Make sure and get it on correctly because there is a slight difference in front and back width. I also put camper tape on the bottom of the rails to keep it from scratching and to help with sealing. I periodically remove mine and clean and wax under it. Also, I now keep my spare tire in the bed and a tool box, not one of the front of bed all the way across ones, but a tool box. I also have a Cintas floor mat in there that fits between the fender wells with about 3 inches of space front and back. Keeps things from scratching the bed and moving around!

Good investment, and looks cool!

Found this post from the google,..

 

Trying to see if these are still available, websites not working for me.

 

I would prefer one that's all Velcro, no visible snaps or fiberglass but beggars can't be choosers

I'm bringing up this old thread because I picked up a Downey tonneau cover and I have a few questions.   The one I got has never been installed and it's complete except it didn't come with the 2 cross bars.   I can fabricate something but would like to know what material the originals were made of (aluminum, fibreglass, wood, ... ?) and if they were one piece each or two.   Two would be better for storage when it's not in use.   Any help would be appreciated.

 

I'm probably going to take it into a shop to have it modified to fit around the sports bar.   I know it won't be waterproof but given what I'm likely to carry in the bed I'm OK with that.
