Retrax installed on 2016

After waiting since late November I finally got Retrax installed. Looks good, hopefully it keeps the water out. The dealer gave me $1000 toward any aftermarket tonneau since they could not get the factory one as an accessory. Total price $1511.00.

Anyone in New Orleans need an install Driver Designs in Metairie did an excellent job.

 

Is there a gasket by the tailgate? Doesn't look like it overlaps very much and could let water in.

 

There is a thick gasket, seems to be very tight. I will post back after I wash it or it rains.

 

Looks awesome!

What exact model did you get? Is it powered?

 

Very nice..

 

Nice I got the Pro MX version it's a mat finish...Install is straight forward.

 

I like this - a question to owners...

Looks like the canister takes almost a foot of bed space (I think the website says approx 11 x 11). Can this system be removed easily if you want to use the entire bed for a large load? 5-10 minute job or longer?

 

15 minutes max...canister not heavy just awkward for one person to handle..

 

I loved the Retrax on my 2007 Ram 3500. I would say to expect to keep almost all the water out - anything non-torrential and +/- in the carwash. Only complaint I had was that the roller wheels on mine eventually did rust (in Colorado, which is rare). They didn't exactly warranty it, but they sent me a new top (not the frame), for a decent discount.

 

Retrax one...it is not the electric version.

 

nice, is this a 2016 model or one you made fit, i tried one from a 2015 and wouldn't bolt to the rails without making a bracket. Called them and they said if i did it would void my warranty so i decided to wait.

 

2016 model....i waited for them to get it right.

 

2016 version comes with brackets....

 

Driver designs in Metairie, LA ordered it back in November. They haggled with with Retrax for a couple weeks in December. Retrax kept telling them were getting recalls due to a leaking gasket. They finally fixed the issues and shipped it out last wed. I didn't install it so i really do not know specifics.

 

Are you able to use your factory bed rails still after the install? I like the roll-up covers vht don't want to lose the use of my bed rails for cargo.

 

Yes

 

Did they drill a hole in your bed or use one of the three holes at the bottom? Do you have any pics?
