Just to fully understand & confirm, if I have a hardtop & it is removed, this trailcover will work without issues even with no tailgate bar, correct?

Correct. The cover has straps with plastics hooks. You can hook them on the bottom of the tailgate/doors. The cover is very nice and keeps the water out. It's much better than another cover that I had that let water seep through.

Yes, mine works perfect with no bar. The first couple of times it is a tight fit, but it is still super easy to get installed. I love mine!

I purchased with the understanding when I took off my doors and the top that in a rainstorm or parking during the day I could slip on and have some protection. From the elements. It can provide this. I could be used without a tailgate bar. The straps connect to the bottom of the tailgate. I only used a handful of times and realized with oversized tires you need to keep the doors on otherwise you are coated with mud or road dabre if raining. With doors on I just use my soft top to pull up. No need for this product.

Yep. And it is a great cover. I'm a small female and I can easily whip that bad boy on in couple minutes when it starts to rain.

The second that is against the tailgate is tapered and rubber coated. It is also self adjusting so you should not have any problems. You could also attach a stap to the tailgate if you still were concerned. I have never had any problem using this unit both using wheel barrel and my power washer. I use my truck bed as a work platform for oil changes and lawn mow ever cleaner. The Lund ramp works great!

yes it will help to keep the tailgate from coming off accidentally. it basically is another anchor point from high up on the edge of the box to the tailgate itself.

It mounts strictly on the sides of the bed and only goes over the tailgate. As long as the tailgate is flush or below the top of the bed you should be fine.

You will need to get the rear tailgate kit for this to fit. If you had a soft top, you wouldn't need anything else.

You can only get in it when you open your tailgate. So if your tailgate locks then it is locked. That is unless someone really wants in it and has a pry bar and no bed cover can stop that.

A locking tailgate would stop someone from unlatching the cover. If you have a fifth wheel tailgate, you could probably drill a hole through the latch mechanism when it is in the latched position so that you could put a bolt or lock through it but that would weaken the mechanism . I may be wrong but I don't think thieves would be real interested in the top itself anyway. It is bulky and would not bring much on the used market.

No. It would be too dangerous. The "tailgate" is easily removable.. In addition, it is quite small. I would not do that at all due to injury concerns.

Yes. You will need to make sure that you have A tailgate bar and soft top window surrounds. I learned the hard way that it's useless without those.

When the top is in place, one can lock the tailgate and the securing latches are not available to unlock. That makes it secure.

The Bedrug liner I purchased from Amazon covers the inside portion of the rear tailgate, thus covering the pole. Since it adheres with Velcro I could always peel it back to use the pole, but never really use the pole anyway. The step works fine. You may be able to buy the bedrug without the tailgate cover...but Amazon did not offer that version.

I believe you will need the too windshield channel, body channels, and side door window frames that mount on the side of the windshield. You will also need the bar that secures the top to the tailgate.

The latch to release the flip is under the cover. If you can lock your back tailgate, then the release latch is not available. This keeps out honest people. If someone wants in, I imagine a dishonest person could (with some difficulty) pry the top open with tools. I'm happy with the level of security it provides compared to, for example, softcovers.

Yes, It stays in place the whole time. Real ez install. You can lock it or leave it unlocked and it stays attached. Great product to keep people from stealing your tailgate or if you have a tonneau cover etc.

It only works if the tailgate is up and locked. If you want to be more secure, you have to put a hose clamp or a mcguard lock around the right side hinge point. This way they have difficulty removing it in the down position or if you forget to lock it.

Yes, it works nice with a locking tailgate (if you want your bed 'secure'). There are two "quick release" latches in the back of the tonno cover that need the tailgate open to access. The cover is not knife proof however ;)

It doesn't officially lock unless your tailgate is lockable. If thats the case then its pretty much secure. The only way to open the bakflip is from the underside, when the tailgate is open
