Although many people believe that fiberglass tonneau covers are the best on the market, they sometimes ignore other options. Of course, it is up to the consumer to decide which cover is best for his truck. But still, it is definitely worth considering all the options.

In addition to the covers made of fiberglass, some are made of a heavy-grade vinyl. Vinyl covers are sometimes be thought of as less reliable because of the possibility of the cover ripping or tearing, but this is something that usually only happens if an owner is careless with the cover. As long as you take proper care when applying and removing the cover and make sure there are no items sticking out of the truck bed that could rip the cover, vinyl covers are an effective option.

The biggest advantage of fiberglass covers is that they can be locked firmly into place to avoid them from moving or being jarred when you hit a bump. The latch can be located on different places, but often the latch is on the tailgate of the vehicle, or on the side.
These are usually made to latch pretty tight and unless you manually try to take it loose, it is doubtful it would come loose by itself, regardless of how bumpy the road is or how windy it is outside.

Fiberglass tonneau covers also offer unmatched theft deterrence and weather-proof protection to the contents of the truck bed it is covering.
Disadvantages to fiberglass covers include weight, decreased gas mileage, and difficult removal. Because it is heavy, a fiberglass cover contributes significantly to the truck’s weight and decreases gas mileage because of this.

Also, truck owners who require the versatility of an open bed and a covered load at different times in the same day or week even, might not be happy with a fiberglass cover. Its weight makes it awkward to take on and off – it’s not a one-person job.
Retractable vinyl or canvas covers are better-suited for easy truck bed conversion.

However, fiberglass tonneau covers are more solid and much less susceptible to tearing or ripping than canvas covers are. If you require a covered truck bed most of the time, fiberglass is best-suited to this purpose.
