Power up/down Tailgate

Thanks for the reply.  Seems like a really big oversight on Chevy's part to not include some sort of manual override option.  I guess it would add to the complexity of the inner motor working on the tailgate, but I guess we'll see how things go.  I plan on going with the Revolver X4s from Bak for cover; so you have to be able to open the tailgate to pull the cord and disengage the rail locks.  

 

I guess the good thing is that the Revolver X4s isn't completely theft proof as videos have shown that a crowbar and enough pressure under the rear edge can pop the lock loose of the track enough to force your way in if I ever have an emergency situation.

Imo, it really makes you think long and hard about the tonneau cover you get.  I have a Retrax.  Very thankful that if the tailgate fails I'll still be able to open the tonneau.  As for the tonneau you're looking at, I bet you could open it by slipping a crochet needle between the tailgate cap and edge of tonneau to hook on the cable and unlock the tailgate.  Those are cheap, and might be able to fit in your glove box.
