Glasstite's newest tonneau is named Breeze because it's made to be easy to install. The Breeze has a mechanical system that acts as a lever, allowing the owner to lift the lid open with one finger and pull it down with one hand. The lid mounts to the bed using a strap-and-clamp attachment, and uses an aluminum subframe with adjustable front hinges. Each tonneau is preadjusted and foamed for the specific application. Glasstite; 507/695-2378.
