Re: Installing the tailgate seal w/Retrax cover
We haven't hauled too much since getting it. We stuffed a load of cardboard into it for recycling and it was nice to have the cover to keep it contained.
We'd just bought a new cooler that is too tall for it, but we'll just haul that one in the trailer and take one of our older, shorter ones when we don't take the trailer.
I think there may be some things that we haul in the bed that will need a spacer at the front to keep them from running into the cannister that the cover retracts into by the cab. A heavy quilt will probably be enough to protect it. A spacer on the floor would keep wood or whatever from pulling out the drain tubes too.
We like the cover very much. It pulls and pushes with the tiniest bit of effort. It just zips along if you push it. You can open it and lock it any spot along the track.
We don't have any ATVs or motorbikes, so I can't think of anything we would be hauling where the loss of the few inches behind the cab will be a hinderance.
The water that gets in is minimal. We still haven't had a downpour since putting it on, but we squirted it at the car wash and there were just a few drops of water in the very front.
It's a good cover and was the right choice for us. I can't think of anything I don't like about it.
