To minimize a forced entry, the ideal tonneau cover would balance strength, durability, weight, cost, and impact resistance. The cover’s panel strength depends on the materials used and their structural geometry. A state-of-the-art hard cover will repel intrusion from above and resist pry-bar loads at the cover’s sides and rear.

To provide a secure platform for its covers, Stowe’s hard cover panels are constructed of high-tech, lightweight yet strong composites supported by extruded aluminum frames. They’re even tough enough to handle a sledgehammer attack, making them virtually
indestructible.
