Company History
First incorporated in 1998, Hard 2 Top Products, Inc. developed
and refined a security product for multiple uses. The
secure convertible top protecting both driver and contents of a
vehicle was first in development. Working from the patent
attained by owner and CEO Roy Ramirez, Hard 2 Top Products was
able to create a full-size prototype for demonstration and
marketing of the product. Mr. Ramirez holds the exclusive
patent for the "soft-sided security system" with a
built-in alarm system manufactured to
resist any "forced-entry" into a convertible, soft-sided or
otherwise "open" vehicle.
The technology creates a secure barrier, protecting occupants
and contents of such vehicles and allows for the barrier to be
linked with a security system. It is the only product
currently on the market that integrates with a vehicle security
system and offers the flexibility of soft-sides.
This entry by the initial product into the niche convertible
market has resulted in the formation of Hard 2 Top
Manufacturing, Inc.; a spin-off venture that will take the
patent technology further, developing new products and expanding
the uses for the core materials. Expanding to include
pickup truck owners offers access to a large pool of potential
manufacturing and after-market customers needing a secure bed
cover (also known as a tonneau cover).
The company's products offer the convenience of easy stowing and
access, in addition to the security component essential to many
consumers. The patented technology uses a material that is
tear resistant and combines it with the latest in forced entry
prevention electronics. The result is a system that is
sensitive to something so small as a puncture from a common
needle, thus sounding the alarm; but not so overly sensitive
that it reacts to common occurrences such as wind or rain.

Tonneau Covers
There are other
companies marketing covers. However, these products are
useful only in concealing the contents, with a minimum of
"forced-entry" resistance. None of the covers currently on
the market offer either integration with a current alarm or a
built-in alarm system that will sound when forced entry is
attempted.

Hard cover or "clam shell" covers lack
the flexibility or 'look' of the "soft" cover. While
several versions of these types of covers are available, none
offer an alarm component.
