Fas-Top Pro Soft Roll-Up Truck Bed Tonneau Cover

Video Transcript for Fas-Top Pro Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover Feature Review

Hi, everyone. I'm Evangeline, right here at etrailer. (hand pats) Today, we have the Fas-Top Pro Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover. This is gonna be a lightweight, super easy to install tonneau cover. But more importantly, this also works with Fas-Tops toppers. So you can very easily transform this tonneau cover into a camper shell with some additional pieces here at etrailer.

But if you're just looking for the tonneau cover portion, that's what we're here for. Now, for the Fas-Top Sport Series, that's actually at the exact same tonneau cover just with these aluminum rails All your dimensions, all your features, though, those are gonna be the exact same as the Pro Series, just a slightly different color. Now, it's very important that you get the right part for your specific truck. For example, we have a five-foot, three-quarter-foot bed here on this truck. But this cover's also available in different sizes, for different trucks, different truck bed lengths, and different combinations of pieces too.

So if at any point you're not quite sure what's gonna be the right fit for you, you can either use our fit guide here at etrailer, put your year, make, model of your truck, your style of truck, and then you'll see all the different options that are custom fit for your vehicle. Or you can always give us a call or send us a message, and we'll help you get sorted for your adventures. The main perks of a soft roll-up cover, like this one from Fas-Top, is that it is lightweight and very easy to set up. But you still have that protection over your truck bed. So if you have gear or cargo inside, this will protect it from the sun, the rain, the snow, just the outside elements.

You have this large covering over your truck bed, keeping things safe, not just from elements, but also from prying eyes. It's gonna be low profile with rails that sit on your truck bed and not in it. So you can see here the inch and a half of space that it adds to the top. Now for security, this relies on your truck's own tailgate for keeping it in place. So if I needed to get stuff from the truck bed, I have to lower the tailgate and then open up the cover.

Now, to open this cover, it does have two latches, one on each side. So I have to press one, and then I can press the other, and then the whole thing can lift up. Since it's so lightweight, you can roll it up from the side of the truck bed, even if your truck is on the taller side, and you might be on the shorter side like me. Because we have these bows that give that structure, it holds that structure as it rolls up, which I appreciate. Since I don't have much headroom over here to the side. We'll keep rolling it up all the way to the end until we can secure it with these straps. It's not a major feature, but I really like these straps with their high-quality plastic. Oftentimes, I see like a leather or rubber fabric loop, but this is a plastic buckle that hooks into this thick plastic loop. And you can also adjust the tension of these straps as they hold your cover in place. A lot of people like the roll-up design because this gives you full access to your truck bed again. You can drive around with this rolled up. In fact, with it being so low profile on this specific truck, it doesn't even go past the top of the seats in the back of the cab. So you still have pretty much full visibility through your rear window, and almost full access to your truck bed. So for those who may be carrying around a lot of gear, a lot of cargo, and they wanna use their truck for truck things, this gives you that ability. And you can just leave your side rails on your truck bed. Now, note with these rails, they do sit a little taller and a little wider compared to some other tonneau cover rails I've seen because these are designed with the extra stability to be upgraded, to be used with the Fas-Top topper. That topper is called the Fas-Top Traveler, and it goes on top of this system. So that way, instead of just securing your truck bed and covering your cargo area, it works as a camper shell and gives you a lot of extra headroom. So for those that may still want that ability to keep things safe, and they may have liked it from the tonneau cover, well, you just give yourself a little bit more headroom with that topper. Now notice here, as I secure, it all springs into place, and gives a lot of tension over our truck bed. And then you can push down on these sides, which secure to those hook and loop strips on the rail, giving that extra coverage. I also like how easy they've made it to adjust the tension if you find that you have a loose or a tight fit on your own truck. So here's how I adjust the tension. You're gonna see on each side of your cover, you're gonna see two bolts, and then you'll also see this adjustment ruler. So first take note of where your system, my (indistinct) set to, and then loosen the two bolts, one and two. And then now you can adjust this back and forth. If you need to make this tighter, well, move this a little closer to the tailgate. If you need to loosen it, move it away. I recommend on both sides only moving it a quarter or a half notch at a time so you're not making extreme drastic changes. And then tighten down those two bolts, and then double-check your tension settings again. I also like to double-check (tailgate thuds) that the tailgate can still close with the tonneau cover in the down position. My name is Evangeline, right here at etrailer.
