Features to know about

Low-Profile Look: ½-Inch Above the Bed

Some tonneau covers sit high and look bulky, but the TonnoSport keeps things clean and subtle. It sits only ½ inch above the truck box, giving it a streamlined, low-profile look that blends right in. That slimmer design also cuts down on wind drag, which can help improve gas mileage by up to 10 percent.

Full Bed Use: Roll-Up Design

When you need to haul something tall or oversized, you don’t have to take the cover off. The soft vinyl top rolls up toward the cab in seconds and secures with a single nylon strap and buckle. It stays in place while you drive, keeping your bed wide open for larger cargo. When you’re done hauling, just unroll it and latch it down again for a tight, secure fit.

Secure Cargo: Trigger Latch and Slide Locks

Keeping your gear safe is simple with the built-in trigger latch and side slide locks. When the cover is closed, the latch automatically engages, locking the tonneau in place. Slide locks on each side add another layer of protection. Close and lock your tailgate, and the bed is fully secured. To open, just pull the trigger latch with one hand—it’s that easy.

Smooth Fit Every Time: EZ Dial Tension Control

Covers can loosen or flap with temperature changes, but the EZ Dial system keeps the TonnoSport snug. You can fine-tune the tension with just a turn of the dials—no tools needed. The Velcro side seals stay tight against the rails, keeping dust and rain out while giving the cover a smooth, finished look.

Simple Installation: Clamp-On Aluminum Rails

You don’t need to drill or fuss with tricky alignment. The TonnoSport uses six aircraft-grade aluminum clamps that grip the bed rails firmly. The Tight Bite clamp design locks onto the rail ridges for a solid hold. Once the rails are on, the cover attaches easily with Velcro, so the whole setup goes on quickly and stays secure.

Video Transcript for Access TonnoSport Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover Feature Review

Hi, everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Access Tonnosport Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover. This is an entry level tonneau cover from Access, and we're gonna take a look at the different specs, different measurements, different features, right here at etrailer. So, if you wanna protect your truck bed from the elements, let's say you have a lot of snow, you have rain, you have sun beating down, and you don't wanna mess up your bed liner, that's what a tonneau cover like this is for. It's also if you wanna protect the cargo underneath from those elements as well.

This is gonna be the entry level cover, though. So, if you want the more premium features, definitely check out the other videos of tonneau covers we have here etrailer for some of those more premium items. Access has a bunch of cool ones, but this definitely does check off most of the boxes you might be looking for. So hopefully this video will help you out with figuring is this gonna be the right cover for you, your truck, and your adventures. So even though it's the economy option, it's still a really good looking cover.

We have this installed on our Ram 3500, but this fits a bunch of other trucks as well. Definitely use our fit guide here at etrailer, so you can get the right fit for you and your truck. This is gonna be a low profile tonneau cover that's relatively easy to use. Check out my install on this Ram 3500, if you're curious about that process. So, a soft roll-up tonneau cover means you can roll the tonneau cover up and keep it rolled up, that way you can access your truck bed whenever you want.

So let's do that, and take a closer look at the different features. So this has a seam on the side, and notice how it is aligned and flush with our truck bed. Now, this is only on the sides of our truck bed. If you want the more premium Access covers, that seam goes all the way up, even towards the cab. This one has support beams made of aluminum.

Great, because it's lightweight, easy to maneuver. Also, this prevents people from pealing this up and accessing your truck bed from the side. Now, this is unpainted. I think it's perfectly fine, since it is made of aluminum, but some prefer the black finish that you can find on the beams of the other Access covers. The vinyl cover here feels very strong, feels durable. It is water resistant. Now this doesn't have any drain holes, things like that. So, you're gonna have to hope that if you have the tension tight enough, then it will just run off towards the sides. So, the differences between a soft tonneau cover and a hard tonneau cover, is that this can be punctured with enough force. So if you want to prevent theft in that area, that's when you start looking at the hard tonneau covers. Now, the perks of a soft tonneau cover, is its very lightweight, it's easy to install, and it doesn't take up much space. So, we saw earlier how it did not cover our rear window of our Ram 3500. A larger, or a hard tonneau cover sometimes either has a canister that goes underneath, or folds up to cover that window. So different pros, different cons. This does not include a locking mechanism. Once your tonneau cover is secured, you can then only access it by lowering your tailgate. So your truck itself is the lock for your tonneau cover. This is so lightweight, that even I can install it all by myself. It can get a little tricky on your longer beds, just because you have to have clamps just to hold it up in place, as you use the clamps included with the kit to tighten everything down. So, if those larger, hard tonneau covers, those canister tonneau covers, seem kind of daunting, because they require lifting and the weight or help of other people to lift the weight, this does not require any of that. It's super easy to do. So, my personal thoughts about the Tonnosport tonneau cover, is that if you're looking to enter into the world of tonneau covers, and you don't really wanna spend too much, 'cause you're not sure what type of cover you want, this is a great way to start. It checks off most of the boxes. It covers your truck bed. We have a nice seal on the edge. It doesn't interfere with your tailgate. Doesn't take up room behind your window. Things like that. Hopefully this video helped you out with the different pros, the different cons. I personally think that if you have a larger bed, definitely find something that's a little easier to use, 'cause it does take some time to unroll and roll this back up. For your trucks with shorter beds and smaller beds, your compact trucks, this might be a great option for you, for a quick and easy tonneau cover to throw up on there whenever you need it. And that was a look here at our Access Tonnosport Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover, here at etrailer. My name is Evangeline and I hope you enjoyed the journey..

by:

Latch has an interference. Knew about the interference with the rollup and the in-bed hatch. Looks like they just shortened their standard product without regard to any special requirements of the Santa Cruz.



by:

Fit ment was perfect, way better then what i expected, thanks again...



by:

Good product and Very fast shipping



by:

Arrived on time. Had it installed today looks great. Very pleased with my cover. Thanks very much



by:

Fast delivery, great communication, fit perfectly on 98 chevy ,absolutely would order again and the price was very reasonable..



by:

Nice fit and texture



by:

Installation of this product is very difficult for Hyundai Santa Cruz (2025). The 2 sets of instructions are some of the worst I've ever seen plus you'll need to cross reference videos online for other models of trucks to fill out the missing information. I have it installed which look ok but it still needs more adjustment. Also when rolled up the Santa Cruz's back support frame next to the cab window area tapers up together at the top so the roll up doesn't fit up to the cab back window. I'll need to by clip extensions to hold it in it's rolled up position.



by:

When installing the rails they would not sit square after tightening the clamps. The bed I have on my Santa Cruz has a plastic liner. Not sure if that was the problem. My son-in-law put two washers behind each clamp in order to square up the rail. That seemed to work. After the headache of trying to figure out how to correct the problem our solution worked. The cover itself looks great on the truck.



by:

Very well built just poor instructions on installation. Would buy again.



by:

Hard to find size, so I appreciate finding it and it being advertised appropriately. Easy enough to install and looks good. If I could change something, the side rails are mounted inside bed, would be nice if they could go on top of the side wall to not take up that space



by:

I like the cover. Instructions could be a bit clearer. Had to still look up a video for installation.



by:

The customer service at eTrailer is absolutely outstanding. They have a great process other companies should follow. I reviewed all the applicable tonneau covers and videos for my 09 Dodge 3500 4x4 LB many times before I chose the Access TonnoSport Soft, Roll-Up. It had to be compatible with complete access to a tool chest & 5th wheel. Once I received the item, the directions described the pieces in "Access's" technical terms. Some pics were dark contrasted, hard to figure out, drawings would have helped. I made slight adjustments according to the troubleshooting page. Overall, pleased with product & the outcome.



by:

Love it - have had it for a year and its held up great. Compatible with bed rails.



by:

For the price and install time, I really like the cover.
After installation the fit was great.
The only thing is it wasn't very clear how to install the cab weather strip but I got it.



by:

Perfect fit for Hyundai Santacruz 2025. Delivered in time



by:

Overall it has been a great product. I do wish that it wasn't so baggy. But, I understand that the material it is made from tends to do that depending on temperature.



by:

It fits and looks great. Shipping was extremely fast!! I didn't give it a five star rating because the cover mounting instructions were very difficult to follow and not specific to my compact pickup truck.



by:

The install was easy,I installed it by myself. I have taken it through 15 car washes, it has been through 3 rain storms and has not let any water into the bed. If purchasing again I would get the same exact one as i love the extreme low profile.



by:

Good value. After one year in the hot Georgia sun, an especially cold winter, and lots of recent rain; the cover continues to hold up well and looks as good as the day I installed it. The installation was fairly easy, but the instructions could use improvement. However, with a little patience the result is nearly a custom fit. I have no negative comments regarding the quality and effectiveness of the product. Easy to use and keeps cargo dry even in the hardest of rainfall.



by:

Looks fantastic on my 2016 Nissan Titan XD I love the low profile
Install was less than 15 mins following the included instructions.
Works well with the Utili-track installed in my bed.
Highly recommend.



by:

These covers are the best. Getting this one for my 3rd new truck in 14 years. The last one is still in great shape and handled a 40" snow load in 2021. That cover was 5 years old at the time.



by:

Product is great the directions not so great. After the bulkhead rail and side rails are put in tonneau cover should be rolled from the back to the front so you know exactly where everything's going.



by:

The cover fits perfect on my 2024 Silverado. It was pretty easy to install with help from a installation video. I took my time and it took about an hour to install. I needed this type of cover so I could install my ladder racks.



by:

Great cover for a fair price. Easy installation and a sleek, seamless look. This cover is far superior to the one this truck had for its first 25 years.
