I load a bit of firewood in my truck, as much as I try to get my sons to be careful tossing wood in I generally keep the cover open just a bit to protect the back window from breakage. How about adding a stop on the cover for "window protect mode"?

That would be immensely handy. It would also help if you want to really pile up mulch/sand/gravel all the way up to the top of the sail panels. Seems like an easy software upgrade.

I’ve been thinking about the same thing but more to keep our dog from being decapitated or knocked out by accidentally closing it on him! 😂 I almost did just that when getting a notification that the tonneau had been left open while my wife was at the store! Oops. Haha

I would like to have a vent option because it can get REAL HOT under that black cover in the summer when it’s closed and we routinely keep an ice chest in there for shopping Since we live an hour from good shopping locations.

I know I can open the cover slightly using the controls, but a preset option would be nice to have as well.

I'm "pretty sure" that the tonneau will detect resistance and stop, in much the same way that the frunk lid does. I doubt you could chop carrots with it lol

Try and report back. If you don't report back, we'll assume you were wrong 😂

Great call. Hadn’t thought about that! Will report back once I can convince the wife to close her eyes in the bed and just sit there! 😂😂😂
