                When I was looking the craftec was the best option out
there. Easy to remove, light and more reasonably priced. Fiberglass ones
have more than doubled in price. Talked to a few people with them and they
were happy with them. They did improve the design for holding the lid down
as well.

                   I see the camper type ones available every so often here.
Usually way overpriced on craigslist.
