Don't worry, Randii, I won't pick on you.

I like that reverse design. I keep a bunch of tools, spare parts, and rags in a basket bungee'd to the back left of the bed. When I need one, I walk down the drivers side and there it is, easy to reach in and grab.

When I want to open the door, I unsnap the bottom, but leave it zipped up, and just duck under the plastic.

When I unzip it 3/4 of the way, it flops over the passenger side....and I'm on the side to open it, instead of doing what you're thinking where you start from the right, unzip to the left (drivers side), then cross back to the right to open the door (or walk around the door if you've opened it first).

When I go to close up, I close the door, flop the back over to the drivers side, and zip it up...finishing up on the drivers side.

One think I disagree with is the seal. I've never gotten it to seal on the top or sides right. One of my best top snaps never worked, the spacing's off, and the rubber seal never seals securly into the top (I get water inside off the roof if it's raining and I'm doing over 55).

Our mileage, apparently, varies. I mean that for real, I just rolled over 180k and the O2 light came on.
