The Competition (Product Differences) |
| One Piece Polycarbonate (LEXAN ®) Design - A durable thermoplastic commonly known as LEXAN® that is UV treated for protection from the sun. |
Vinyl - Vinyl glued or stapled to aluminum slats. |
| Strength - The cover is reinforced with up to 20 tempered aluminum support beams embedded every 4 3/4", which will hold 200 lbs. and can easily support heavy snow loads. The cover is strong enough to stand on (not recommended). |
Strength - The cover will withstand a concentrated load of about 120 pounds. A light snow load, is tolerated. |
| Sealed Ball-bearing Rollers - Sealed ball-bearing rollers mounted onto each end of the aluminum support beams allow the cover to retract or close easily without the use of springs or any kind of mechanism. Anti-bind ball-bearings mounted horizontally prevent the cover from binding as it is opened or closed. |
Wear Strip - Top and bottom rail wear strips. |
| Spiral Track Storage System - Unique spiral track system that prevents the cover from touching itself as it retracts, which eliminates wear-and-tear on the cover. No moving parts to jam, freeze or fail. |
Spring Loaded Drum - Cover rolls up on top of itself on a spring loaded drum similar to a window shade. |
| Lockable In Any Position Along The Rail - Cover can be latched or key locked in any position along the rail. Tailgate works independently of the rolling cover. |
Locking Positions Every 12" - Intermittent locking positions every 12 inches. Tailgate works independently of the rolling cover. |
| Lock Handle - The flush-mounted lock handle, located at the rear on the driver's side, provides easy access when opening and closing the cover. |
Pull Strap - Reach to the center of the cover and grab a tow strap, walk back to the truck and pull the cover back. |
| Tailgate Area - The RETRAX™ bed cover overlaps the top of the tailgate utilizing an automotive grade weather strip seal. |
Tailgate Area - The cover meets up with the inside face of the tailgate. Water runs down the inside face of the tailgate. |
| Weather Protection - The patented RETRAX ™ low-profile design uses a front cover that is flush with the rolling cover; this streamlines the overall appearance and provides a firm, dependable seal to help keep the bed dry. This design incorporates automotive grade weather strip to keep water, snow, ice and dust out of the bed. |
Weather Protection - Water is channeled to the rails and canister. The water must try to pass through 2 small drain tubes to exit the bed. |
| Maintenance - No special maintenance required. Wash and wax the cover like you would the hood of your truck. |
Maintenance - Requires treatment with a vinyl protectant. Should be applied each time you wash your truck. |
