Re: Retrax Tonneau Cover AVAILABLE NOW + Di$count for ROC Members!

There is only about 3/4" clearance on each side of the bed cover when it is open to the point where the wide part of the lid crosses the location where the tonneau cover rail is mounted. The rail is wider than 3/4 " so it hits on both sides. I believe that someone with a Honda tonneau cover said that it has the same issue. I am sure that it would be a costly revision but I would like to see the in bed trunk lid made to be just a little bit narrower to allow for clearance of all bed wall mounted accessories. It is a real limiting factor. I played with a tape measure based on what I saw in the photos and it is a small inconvenience compared to the benefit of the tonneau cover.

I don't know anything about the bed extender use with the RETRAX.

I think that both locks are surface mounted from the bed side of the tailgate and RETRAX cover so I doubt that the release handles will need to be changed. The tailgate lock COULD be designed to go inside the tailgate itself but I really do not know yet. I did order both locks. The RETRAX lock will be shipped with the RETRAX cover. The tailgate lock will be shipped when they become available in approximately two weeks. Pictures and info will follow.
