Hi, just bought a 2010 Ridgeline RSL and would like to know anyone's experiences with installing a tonneau covers on the later models.

Installation is the same as any other models. Many people are going with the Bakflip
G2 if you like the convenience of the fold-up cover. It gives you a lot of useable space in the bed when it is open fully. Installation only takes about an hour and is very easy.
Of course you can get the Retrax, but it takes up quite a bit of room in the already limited space in the bed.
Good luck in your search.

Thanks Brad, After doing a lot of research on various models I settled on the Roll n Lock which I should be getting this week.

I'm picking up a 2008 Ridgeline next week or the next and I'm going to purchase a bunch of accessories.
Does anyone have any recommendations on where to purchase accessories?
I see this topic is sponsored by H and A and I've successfully purchased from them years ago when I purchased my 2003 Pilot new (89,000 miles and not a single problem), so I suspect they watch this forum.
Just looking for another place or two to compare a little. Also, I'm on the east coast so shipping costs and delivery times are something to consider.
If any dealerships are monitoring this forum, feel free to chime in...

i've got a perfect set of factory 17" Chrome-Look Aluminum Alloy Wheels. used less than a year before i sold my 2008 ridgeline (with original RTX wheels). these wheels look great, high polished aluminum (not chrome - will not pit or stain like chrome). i purchased from H and A (they still have them at $337 each). these wheels dress up any Ridgeline.

I have gotten the best online deals from HandA. Their prices are not always the lowest, but their shipping charges are MUCH lower than other online Honda parts sellers.
Also check eBay as several Honda dealers sell parts there.

I like it fine, I installed it myself but it would be easier with two people at certain steps of the installation.
The rails do limit the lid on the trunk space from opening all of the way but it hasn't been a problem for me yet. I have managed to get everything in there that I've wanted to.
The only drawback I've had so far is that if you are loading 4 x 8 sheets of plywood you have to slide them in flat and leave your tailgate down.
If you want them to rest on the closed tailgate at an angle then you will have to cock one side of the boards to clear the rails.
I had a problem with the lid for the spring mechanism coming open but they sent me a modification for it that makes the catch more secure.
I don't think you will be disappointed with it.
Good luck.
