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

Hi, I'm Matt with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a close look at the Access Vanish Soft Roll-Up Tonneau Cover and all the things that stand out to me. So today we have this on a Canyon, but it's gonna work with a lot of other trucks out there. So leave a comment or snap a picture so we can see what your journey looks like. So the main things that stand out to me about this specific tonneau cover is just how well it works with other accessories and other types of racks on the back of your truck, its lightweight nature, and just how low profile it is. And we'll go into some of the other nitty gritty features about it.

So let's ask you see what this is gonna look like in action. So with this, we are gonna have a lever at the very front of it. With that lever, you also have some locks that you can move over and lock this into place. So that's the type of security it does have. It's a very simple design, but I do like it.

You will have one of these for each side. Just pull this towards you, feels pretty comfortable. You will have to pull on it a little bit though, and you can start rolling it. And this is what I mean about how it's working with other type of accessories back here. 'Cause we do have this rack, and it's taking up a majority of our bed rails.

And most tonneau covers out there are gonna sit on your bed rails and you're gonna need a lot of space. This one you really don't. It's only taken up about an eighth of an inch on those bed rails. So if you have anything like we have now, or you have a ladder rack out there that mounts to the bed rails themselves, this is gonna be probably the best option for you. And when it is fully rolled up, it really doesn't take up any space.

If I we inchesre to compare this to anything like a canister, you're typically gonna take up a little bit over a foot of your bed. And with a folding style, it's either gonna block your entire back windshield, or we're gonna take up a good decent amount of that bed space too. So that's something that does stand out about it, and you will have these hooks that'll just wrap around and make sure this isn't gonna go anywhere so it still has a nice, good look to it. Now if there's gonna be any part of this tonneau cover that takes up a decent amount of space, it's most likely gonna be these rails here. Depending on your vehicle, it might be a little bit different. But since this is gonna be supporting the tonneau cover itself, it's gonna take up a little bit of that bed space. Definitely keep that in mind if you have anything that is a little bit wider. Now also on these rails, we're gonna have this side over here. This is gonna be pretty common with any type of soft roll up tonneau cover. It's gonna our hook and loop loop over here. And that's what's gonna kind of lead to giving you that more clean look, because it can help pull this nice and tight. There's gonna be two other things to help keep this nice and tight, one of those is gonna be this knob here. You can just come over here and tighten it with your hands. So that's nice. It's not gonna require any tools. 'Cause with any type of soft roll-up tonneau cover, with time, it's gonna start to loosen up. With this, you're gonna retighten 'em down, make sure everything's nice and snug. And we are gonna have these beams too. That's gonna help keep things nice and tight. They're gonna be made of aluminum, so they're gonna be very lightweight, easy to handle. And there're gonna be a few of them. Because if there's a rain coming through, if I roll that just a little bit more, you can see a bit more right here. What this is gonna help do is help that rain run off and prevent it from just sitting on top of here, stretching out that vinyl. And speaking a little bit more about that vinyl, that's what I like about it is that it's lightweight. It's just easy to handle, especially when you're rolling up, and when you have to close it back down. And finally, when you're doing the installation of that, that's gonna be making a big difference. 'cause if you have something really heavy you're trying to put in here, it's just gonna be a long day. And speaking to that installation, this is what I like about it. It's gonna use clamps, so you won't have to do any permanent modification like drilling any holes. It's just gonna grab onto your bed rails. When it comes to other soft roll-up covers, I think another one that does compare to this is gonna be the etrailer Roll-Up Tonneau Cover. And what's nice about that is it's just gonna be a little more affordable, and it does a lot of the same things that this does. The one down, or the two downsides to the etrailer one though is if you have anything on your rails back here, it's not gonna be compatible. Like anything like this that is taking up a majority of that space, it's just not gonna fit. And this one is gonna be a little bit more low profile. So in my opinion, it looks a little bit nicer too. But of course, if you guys have any other questions, please let us know here at etrailer. Again, I'm Matt, and thanks for watching.
