A true lazy mans cover  :D lol j/k

Seems to open and close fairly quick. Good job.

 Not really lazy, gas shocks would put too much pressure and eventually bow the center upwards. The actuators actually pull the cover down with slight pressure for a better weather seal.

Speaking of weather seal, what are you using for a seal? Does this cover sit tight against the bed rails?

Btw just razzing you on the lazy mans cover. Actually a smart idea to operate a cover with actuators.

Yup, sits tight on the bed rails. The seal is 1/4 x 3/4 3M foam weatherstrip tape.
