Just wondering if anyone has installed the factory soft tonneau cover.  I was asking the parts guy at my dealership about this and he said to hold off purchasing as Nissan may be redesigning because of complaints.  The complaint is that the cover does not go out far enough to the edge of the rail.

Does anyone have one installed now?  If so, any thoughts, etc?  Any issues with the zipper feature, especially if you live in a state like CT where it snows and there is sand and salt on the roads?

Thanks!

Check out accesscover.com

Their stuff is high quality; it's easy to install; and they will sell you a model that doesn't interfere with the utilitrack rails.  I like a soft cover because you can operate the tailgate without messing with the cover.  Hard covers have to be unlocked and raised up each time you want to open the tailgate.

Posted some photos today under "Technical/Problems- Access Cover".  See if they look like what you want.  Here are a couple more cover benefits:

Plus... gas milage went from 12 to 15 after installing the Access cover

Plus... in Snow Country, it's either a bed cover, or a bed full

Plus... did I mention, with gas headed to $3/gal, my Titan improved 3 mpg after the cover was installed... Yeah, I think I might have mentioned that... let's see, that's a 25% improvement... I guess you could just leave the tailgate down or take it off...  Naaa, get a good cover.
