what is the best weather tight rolltop/ retractable tonneau cover???

I've been checking out the RETRAX Tonneau cover and I was curious to know how weather resistant it is. Is it absolutely dry in the bed while it’s raining or snowing or while you’re washing the truck or does it get a few leaks

I have the torza top premier. I live in Seattle and it has seen some pretty steady rain at times. No leaks for me so far.....and it folds up, removes easily and there really isn't an install, you just clamp it on to the utility track. I would buy it again. That said, I have only had it ~5 months so maybe one good Seattle winter where everything is wet for a solid 6 months and may be rott like everything else does around here.

My Dad has a Retrax on his new Ford truck and loves it. He told me it's just as dry as the A.R.E. cover he had on his last truck and 10 thousand times more useful.....and he paid about $1100 for it.

I have the ReTrax and highly recommend it. Quality build and easy to install.

100% weather tight; no I'd say more like 99% in my experience. I park facing uphill and all the water just runs off the back. It overlaps the tailgate and has quality felt seals on the sides to keep water, dirt, etc out.

Someone on one of the forums just ran a group buy. I can't remember which one though. Someone also said Nissan was considering offering the ReTrax as a factory option.

You should be able to get one for around $800 delivered to your door.

I love mine, just a little water runs down the back of the tailgate, otherwise, completely watertight.

I have the Tekstyle low profile tonneau and I really like it. Around $300
