Re: [VAL] Pickup topper- Retrax!
Hi Bill,
We have been using a Retrax ( http://www.rolltopcover.com/ ) cover for five
years in Montana. It keeps out snow, rain, and hands. Its made of Lexan.
I'm not sure if I could chop through it with an ax. I could probably stand
on it. It looks as good as the day we bought it except for a few dings on
the aluminum. The Lexan has not cracked and I don't think it will. That
was my concern when I first bought it. Remarkable stuff. There is many
times I have brushed the snow off of it and rolled it back withought a
problem. In five years it has only been frozen shut under some freezing
rain. A few bangs on the Lexan unstuck it. It does have a lock on it.
I just can't say enough good things about it. The company is in North
Dakota. My wife likes it as much as I do since it so conveniet to use. We
have to drive 200 miles for a Costco trip. It gets used often. It really
does keep out the rain.
I put in a lot of research before I found this one. I guess they are on the
third generation of their covers.
Good luck,
Jim
