Retrax Retractable Cover?

fillupc · 05-18-2004, 08:11 PM

Has anyone seen this bed cover? I just received an email reply as follows:

We do have a model that fits with the rack system and some of the options.
Bed divider and bed extender yes, others no

Thank you

I wrote asking would their cover work without removing the UtiliTrac, and that was their reply. The cover appears to be just what I am looking for, but I would like some opinions if anyone has one.

Is this the site your referring to?

http://www.rolltopcover.com/

I don't know anything about it myself but am also curious.

fillupc · 05-18-2004, 08:24 PM

Yes. That's the one.

What do you think?

If it would really work with trac system I might be interested. I would like to see some shots showing how it would fit on the Titan. I would be nice if it would actually slide in the tracs themselves. (maybe some inherent problems with that idea after I think it through

I called them up about a month ago and they said it would be a drilled in installation.

I think it looks good and would like to see some photos of one installed on a Titan. Their home page states that this cover is a NO DRILL installation.

I phoned the company who said they would be interested in giving us a group price.

It IS a drilled install, by the way.

Reg price is $889, they'll do $789 if we get 20 members that want the top. I think we should negotiate for a lower price, cuz I've seen this top advertised for $800 on the web.

Let me know. I'm also going to research the paragon cover of the same design.

Ok, seven and a quarter! and that is my final offer!

Since it is a drilled install, will it interfere with the Utili-track or not?

that is true how much drilling are we talking??

They told me 2 holes on each side, which keeps the cover ABOVE the utilitrack, preventing interference with it. Sounds like they're too cheap to make new brackets that go around it.

If folks are interested, let me know. I'm also going to contact Peragon.com. Peragon has the SAME type of cover, but it's $499. Don't know about the quality and such. I'll let you know when I find out.

The Pace Edwards is basically an electric powered Truxedo cover, from what I understand. I want one made from Lexan or Aluminum. That's why I'm looking at the Peragon and the Retrax

I'm guessing it would interfere with the sliding overhead rack and its accessories in addition being a pain to remove. That's why I won't commit to it.

Anybody have any thoughts as to an easy to remove soft/hard cover that will allow me to use the utilitrak system to its full potential?
