Retrax vs Roll n Lock

[Cowboyman]

To anyone with a Roll N Lock cover.....I'm just wondering does this cover move at all (or flap) on the interstate ?

 

I'm worried with a regular cab if it did I'd be able to hear it in the truck.

 

Probably going with the Roll N Lock A series metal cover.....I want one that will retract and one that will not cover the Chevrolet on the top of the bedside....doesn't look like I have many options.

 

Thanks for the help and any ideas !

I bought a gator trax tonneau cover in flat black. It's retractable and water proof. I love it. Really easy to install as well. Set me back about $1200.

I have had the Roll N Lock cover for a year. It's watertight, secure, quiet and doesn't flap. More than ten times better than the BakFlip on my last truck.

One last question for you....Do you use 303 Protectant on it ?

 

And if you do....Do you ever notice any residue from it down the sides of the truck after a rain ?

 

My last truck had a Full Metal Jackrabbit so I didn't have to put any protectant on it.

Yes I do use 303 maybe every couple of months. I think the Roll N Lock literature says to use it when you wash the truck but when I did my install I had to call the tech with a few questions and I think he said that a couple of times a year was probably enough. My truck is in a carport most of the time so 2x a year might be enough for me. The 303 is also very good for keeping the tracks operating smoothly.

 

Roll N Lock customer support and techs were very helpful and responsive, patient and easy to understand. I'd say if you have any questions before you buy just give them a call.

Sorry, forgot. No, I have never seen any residue from the 303 and I'm pretty picky about taking good care of the truck and sure I would have if it were there.

Is it really waterproof? Or just water resistant? I want one of these types of covers (RollnLock, Retrax ect) but none are actually waterproof, just weather resistant.

I have the gator trax power on mine and love it. during the recent heavy downpours here in Tennessee it only had a couiple of drops back by the tailgate, otherwise completely dry inside

Appreciate the advice....I'm leaning pretty heavy towards this cover or the Revolver X2.....I like them both a lot.

 

I was concerned about the noise (flapping) on this one, but you have put my mind at ease about that

No problem, I'm glad to hear that.....I would hate to have something streaked down the side of the bed after a rain.

 

Like you I'm pretty picky, probably too much for my own good.....lol

I know this is old but someone brought it back up so I will give my 2 cents. Hands down the Retrax Pro is one of the best. I have had one of their covers on my last two trucks and they have been great. No issues.

Is that one water tight?

Yes, the only leaks I have had thus far are from pressure washing the tailgate... and it goes through the seals rather than the cover.

Does the retrax latch to the tailgate like the roll n lock does?
