Some hard folding tonneaus are able to remain closed and locked while the tailgate only can swing down. Does G2 allow this?

Yes you can open the tailgate and leave it down and the cover will stay down and locked.

Cover can stay down while lowering the tailgate but you have to unlatch the cover and raise it a bit in order to close the tailgate.

The tailgate can be opened without opening the tonneau cover panels. With that being said, the last panel of the tonneau cover has to be opened slightly when you close the tailgate and then pushed back down after the tailgate is closed. If you don't, the seal gets jammed in between the tailgate and tonneau cover panel.

No. You can drop the tailgate and keep the tonneau down, but you loose any security. The locking tailgate is what provides the security, the tonneau has no lock on it per se.

Yes, the G2 allows you to open the tailgate. However, when you close the tailgate it is best to release the last panel and raise it 1/2 an inch so the rubber seal won't get pinched.

There 's 2 straps that go over tailgate to hold tent in place . No you can't

I have this cover on my Frontier. The way you lock the cover is by locking the tailgate. The only way to open the cover is by first opening the tailgate. The g2 works great and barely any water gets in the truck bed when it is pouring out. I recommend this product.

The cover snaps closed on one side and is opened from the inside of the truck bed. If your tailgate locks you can not open the cover.

There are two rubber T-Pieces that get locked in place in the tailgate when you close it. Tailgate needs to be lockable if you want it theft-proof unless you lock the bike to the loadbed. "Rack" does have a lock that locks it to the bike though. Have a look at this pic, but it really is an easy diy http://rackwarehouse.com.p2.hostingprod.com/images/productimages/thule/t501-2.jpg

No, the cover itself does not lock. However, the tailgate does need to be lowered to release the cover. If the truck has a locking tailgate, the cover is essentially locked whenever the tailgate lock is engaged.

Yes it does lock down. The only way you can open the bed cover is when the tailgate is open. All the latches are under the bed cover.

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

When you fold it up you can lock it closed with the strap..... It attaches to the back wheel axle that has the other end of the clip

Each panel has latches on the side that fit into the side rails. Once it's fully closed, with the tail gate up, it's locked into place.

No, this cover doesn't have a lock, but the brackets can only be accessed from the inside. If your truck has a locking tailgate, you will be fine.

There are two very strong latches on the inside of the cover which can only be operated when the tailgate is open. It would be very difficult to pry it open with the tailgate closed and locked. That being said, it is still a soft cover which can be cut into, which wouldn't be easy due to the thickness and strength of the material used. I've had two of these covers on two different trucks and the current one I am using is a vast improvement on the last one I owned (which lasted 6+ years with no rips or cuts). The latching mechanism is much more robust and the covering material seems tougher. The installation was also fairly easy. Although not as secure as a hard-top cover, for a soft cover these are quite secure. (I also think these look the best). Hope this helps. If you have any more questions I'll be happy to help.

No you can only open from tailgate end. However, if you are handy you could replace the bolt tightening cover holders in the front with something easy to work so you can take it completely off. My toolbox is under the front third and it would be great to easily get into it. That is my next project.

You have to lock your tailgate to fully secure it. The cover itself has no lock.

Using the quick attach mount, you can have the legs fold in either direction depending on how you mount it. The springs and extendible legs do not move when locked. Its a solid piece of gear.

The cover doesn't lock by itself, but it fully seals the top of the bed, so as long as your tail gate locks, then it is completely inpenitrable

Yes, the newer units have a flap/door which prevents access from the downsteam side.
