How about another update. Still good or did you upgrade? Thanks!

I do a lot of mountain biking and just ordered the retrax pro xr. I really like your Yakima rake setup. I was wondering if you could possibly tell what Yakima components I would need to haul my bikes above the cover?
@Acreyman4 жыл бұрын
You need the Yakima Landing pads, for the Control Tower System. I don't have all the individual component parts as it was all sent to me as a part of the package. I bet you can take a picture of the system I have over to REI and they can piece it together. Just looking at the website it looks like they are calling this the SkyLine System with the Jet Stream crossbars with the SmartT-Slot Kit. The T slot is what is on the retrax

Update on the cover? Are you still liking it? Does it leak or rattle?
@Acreyman5 жыл бұрын
No rattle's, leaking only in really hard wind driven rains and it can be fixed with some clear silicone. Only problem I had was a hail stone cracked it. The aluminum might be a better choice.

I purchased the same model but I am having weird sliding/rolling on the right side where there is no lock. When its fully closed and locked, i'll drive it around the block and the right side rolls back about a half-inch. Does yours do that?

No mine stays locked and shut tight. I would disassemble it and slowly put it back together make sure you didn't miss a step or someone else didn't

If you live in an area that experiences large hail, you might want to consider the aluminum. I have a crack in mine after the first hail storm of the year and there isn't a dent in my Ford so it didn't hold up well at all.

@Acreyman6 жыл бұрын
Good as new so far. I do a lot of wood working and I was worried about all the sawdust getting in the rollers but so far its great. Just remember, get a separate locking mechanism for the tailgate if you can unlock from inside the truck. A burglar can just break a window and hit the unlock button and get around this and the PRO pretty easily without it.
@treizTUBE5 жыл бұрын
This is an amazing point. I have watched dozens of reviews and videos on these and not one person bothered to mention that all this security is for naught if the burglar has two brain cells to rub together and your truck bed has an electric lock. Thanks! Save me a lot of time and money.

Have you had any issues with the cover like "rising up" or forming a ridge/bubble anywhere? Mine seems to be doing that when parked in sunlight.

I would get the heavy duty aluminum if I did it all over again. I had a large piece of hail go right through this thing. Some guerilla duct tape hides it well but shit.... that is Texas I guess. I bought a hail protector right afterwards though. Insurance wont replace the tonneau due to hail. I took it to Seattle and then Yellowstone from Texas and having a rack sytem above the locked bed was awesome.
@Cooping993 жыл бұрын
The Retrax is a great cover...however..... It is NOT waterproof. I installed it and two days later my bed was full of water. Ruined some of my gear. Now I have to park my truck on a slight incline to prevent the water from getting in and sitting in the front of the bed. Not cool for a 2k cover!!
@Acreyman3 жыл бұрын
Water definitely gets in, but not much. Check and see if you're was installed correctly. I drove to Seattle from Texas is heavy ran and had water along the edgesz that's it. And sometimes a little gets in during a heavy storm when it's parked.
