How Does RETRAX Work?
The RETRAX™ bed cover is engineered to provide strong, rigid canopy cover over your pickup bed. The cover flexes as it rolls into the front spiral assembly which measures just over 10" square. It rides on sealed precision ball bearings to insure a smooth, easy roll under all weather and temperature conditions.
What Is It Made Of?
The RETRAX™ is manufactured from an industrial strength Lexan sheet. This advanced thermoplastic is unaffected by temperature from -50 to +230. The cover is reinforced with 15 tempered aluminum rods for extra load bearing capacity. RETRAX™ will support up to 100 lbs in one area.
Will It Keep The Bed Dry? What About Snow and Ice?
You RETRAX™ is sealed on all sides with automotive grade weatherstrip that virtually eliminates water leakage under even the most severe conditions. Snow and ice may accumulate on the cover without damage to the cover or its function. The cover will support 12" of wet snow with ease.
How Does It Lock?
The RETRAX™ bed cover can be latched at any point along the rail as well as fully open and closed. The key lock and optional tailgate lock provide total security.
