Tonneau Cover advice....

If I remember correctly it does not remove and blocks the back window. You need to drill into the bed for the shocks (I may be wrong). To avoid water in the bed they also have a tube system that dangles from the back and must be routed out the bottom. Seems like a strange way to deal with unwanted water. Someone will chime in with 1st hand experience. You may want to search for reviews

 

I will let you know because i bought one. Truck Alterations gave me a great price. Good communication for a Saturday from Kyle.

 

If this is the one with the tubes, I would try to plug the top holes and leave the tubes out. But, I am not one for drilling my bed or having things dangle that I will end up ripping out with cargo. I am sure it is a quality top though

 

Yes it has a drain tube that I will probably leave off initially before drilling anything to see how much water actually gets in.

 

I know it's a year later.. but HOW did you find this deal?

 

On Amazon.
I noticed this odd pattern that happens on all of Retrax's covers, were they would gradually go down to half of their initial price.

It happens about once or twice a year for a single series (one/pro mx/xr, powertrax one/pro mx/xr). Monitored them by having all in Saved for Later.

Powertrax One XR was the most recent, it gradually dropped from $2099 to $1090 in two months time. At a price better than any discount or group buy, it is hard not to jump on it.

 

Wow.... very hard to not jump on it. OK... thanks for help... will keep an eye on it.

I just picked up a used 2018 DCSB that had an OEM tonneau cover on it in the past.
So the OEM cover bolts etc are on there and the rails cut.

If i want a hard tonneau cover now am I going to have to put original OEM rails back on to use any other brand of hard cover ?

I am north of Boston if anyone knows of someone in New England looking to sell an OEM cover.

 

Does anyone have or who has a bed cover tonneau, retrax, roll cover etc. that’s compatible with overland racks?
