Retrax bed cover problems. Retrax tonneau covers reviews. This comes as a disappointment to me since the material is made out of lexan and aluminum. Simply line up the bedrails and tighten the clamps. The truck bed installation is pretty easy.

The company expanded over the past two decades to efficiently create high quality power electric manual hard retractable truck bed covers. It just needs a simple wash without needing any vinyl protectant treatment. The bed cover holds its place using four clamps. All retrax tonneau covers are maintenance free.

To my surprise after 3 years my retraxpro bed cover began to crack in several places. The canister dropped about 3 16th of an inch from the top. If your cover is leaking at the tailgate and you have already tried replacing some of the seals then my contact at retrax said it sounds like the rubber seal that is connected to the cover itself is in bad shape. After my installer examined the cover he found that not only had the curtain broken nearly in half but the polycarbonate that retrax uses to make the spirals in the canister was cracked about every one half to one inch and had several large pieces broken away and the bearings on the curtain had fallen down through the holes left by the broken plastic track.

Here are some of the most common problems that can occur on your tonneau cover and how you can fix them. Founded in 1996 retrax strives for excellence in design development and manufacturing in the retractable truck bed cover market. Now i have water leaking from the cracks and at the top of my bed cover.
