The RETRAX cover has superior quality rail weather-strip seals. These seals help minimize water intrusion into the
pickup bed. The initial break-in period for the rail weather-strip is about 48 hours in the fully closed position. Your
cover may be slightly harder to open and close during the break-in period.

Maintenance & Care
Cleaning and Caring for your Cover
You can wash and wax your RETRAX cover, but do not use any plastic cleaners, protectants, or strong chemicals.
With proper care, the polycarbonate cover will last many years. It should be cleaned with mild soap and water. Do not allow
gasoline to come in contact with the cover.
Carnauba wax is fine on your RETRAX cover, however, DO NOT
wax the ONE MX or PRO MX (matte) cover!! To restore the luster to
aluminum parts, periodically use a polishing compound followed by
a non-abrasive Carnauba wax. The weather-stripping on your
cover may absorb soapy residue from a car wash, so we
recommend wiping down the inside of your rails from time to time.
IMPORTANT:NEVER spray any lubricant or cleaner in the rails. THIS
WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. The ball bearings are sealed and will
not need any sort of lubricant or spray. If the rails do feel a little
‘sticky’, you may rub some Paraffin (candle) wax along them until
they wear in.
Opening and Using the Cover
To use your RETRAX cover, open the lock cover and
press the button at the center of the latch to pop
open the handle.
Closing and Locking the Cover
To latch your RETRAX cover anywhere along the rail,
push down firmly on the end of the lock handle.
Insert key and make sure it locks and unlocks.
Use
Securing Loose Cargo
RETRAX covers help transporting loose and large pieces
of cargo safe and secure; a unique feature that most
tonneau covers cannot claim. To help secure any item
too big to fit under the cover, latch the lock handle shut
against the item to help keep it in place.
CAUTION! All large and heavy cargo
must be secured by straps etc.
Retrax Holdings, LLC is not
responsible for shifting cargo.
