    I went out the other morning and my tonneau cover was frozen down, out of fear that I would rip the seal or break the handle I gave up pretty quick.

    The easy way to get off Love bugs is to spray Simple Green on your forward facing surfaces let it set 10 minutes the spray them off. Simple Green eats them little bastards right up...
