The newly redesigned RETRAX™ truck bed cover is unique because it is “flat from front to back™,” this allows water to flow off quickly without obstruction. This patented – one-piece (polycarbonate) design is engineered tough and streamlines the overall appearance of the pickup bed cover. Open a RETRAX™ and you will immediately be impressed at the way it smoothly glides back and forth with just one hand. Sealed ball-bearing rollers mounted onto the aluminum support beams allow the cover to retract or close effortlessly without the use of springs or any kind of mechanism. No moving parts to jam, freeze or fail. The compact storage canister contains a unique spiral track system that prevents the bed cover from rubbing on itself as it retracts and closes; this helps eliminate wear-and-tear on the cover.

The RETRAX™ tonneau cover is manufactured from polycarbonate, a virtually indestructible thermoplastic commonly known as LEXAN ®. Our engineers utilized the same polymer technology used in fighter-jet windshields and designed a bed cover that withstands the most rugged use. This rigid, one-piece sheet is engineered to retract without joints or hinges that can trap dust, wear out or freeze. Polycarbonate has excellent impact resistance and is unaffected by moisture or temperatures from -50º to +200º F. RETRAX™ has a gloss-black finish that is adds a new dimension of beauty to your pickup. Polycarbonate requires no special maintenance; just treat it like the hood of your pickup. UV protection is built into the cover for years of protection against the sun.

An automotive grade weather-strip, designed for harsh outdoor use, seals the RETRAX™ on all sides to help keep water, snow, ice and dust out of your bed and the moving parts of the cover; the system seals nicely over the top of the tailgate. The automotive grade weather-strip incorporates a soft felt lining that allows a smooth sliding action even in ice and snow conditions. The RETRAX™ is manufactured in Grand Forks, ND; it has been engineered to withstand Mother Nature’s worst and offers dependable operation year-around.

RETRAX ™ can be latched or key-locked in any position along the bed rail. The secure key-lock system offers protection that no soft cover can. When you need access to your pickup box simply release the flush-mounted latch with the touch of a button – no key required – and the cover glides out of your way with the use of one hand. The cover can be locked open in any position along the rail to allow unlimited hauling flexibility and convenient use with a fifth-wheel trailer.

The rigid design of the RETRAX™ improves the aerodynamics of your pickup. Input from our customers and our own experience indicates that your gas mileage should improve by approximately 10% on the highway with the cover closed.

Installation is simple. The RETRAX™ is a clamp-on bed cover that can be installed by anyone with basic and tools; installation requires a 9/16” wrench and a Phillips screwdriver. All parts are rubber mounted to prevent paint damage and each part is an exact match to your pickup. Installation time is about 1 hour and it can be easily removed if needed. No two pickups are exactly alike. Our mounting system is adjustable for a perfect, no hassle fit every time.

The RETRAX™ is compatible with most accessories such as bed liners and bed rails. Some may require minor modification to the RETRAX™ or the accessory.
