Any soft roll-up tonneau cover that has a flexible tarp material will sag a little bit under the weight of, for example, a foot of wet snow. This also applies to the TruXedo Lo Pro QT Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover # TX545601 that fits the 2004 Tacoma with 5-foot bed.

Wet snow, and the ice that can form from repeated thaw/freeze cycles can get pretty heavy. It is best to remove snow as often as the opportunity arises rather than allowing it to remain and accumulate.

Light dry powder that remains frozen will not tend to become heavier but wet snow is best removed to prevent unnecessary tension on the tarp. Since this cover includes an automatic spring-loaded tension control as soon as you remove the snow load from the cover this feature will work to take up any slack in the tarp.
