I've started looking at the aluminum retractable covers, like Roll N Lock (although some are as expensive as a canopy).
I don't mind the, minimal, space they take up at the front of the bed as long as there is some space to lay a few sheets of plywood.
Having said that, one of the reasons I am looking at tonneau covers is the new truck comes with a sliding rear window (electric, I think) and I figured it negates any benefit if it is blocked by the canopy.
I didn't choose the slider as it came in a package which had a component I did want.
So I ask, of those who have a rear sliding window, do you use them all that often and do some of you also have them blocked by a canopy? Don't have a dog and the kids are grown and I rarely have anyone in the back seats.
