Features to know about

Secure Cargo Protection: 1" Thick Aluminum Slats with Built-In Lock

When you’re hauling expensive gear, you don’t want to worry about someone slicing into a soft cover or prying up the corners. The RetraxPRO MX uses impact-resistant, 1" thick aluminum slats and a built-in locking handle to keep your cargo protected. Lock it anywhere along the rails to cover what you need while leaving room for taller items. When it’s closed and your tailgate is locked, the bed is fully sealed off from weather and theft.

Smooth, Reliable Operation: Sealed Ball-Bearing Rollers

Opening and closing this cover doesn’t take force or fiddling with straps. It glides on sealed ball-bearing rollers that never need lubrication and won’t bind, freeze, or wear like spring-loaded or hinged systems. The pop-up handle lets you slide the cover open or closed with one hand, and the spiral track system keeps the slats from rubbing together when retracted so the motion stays smooth for years.

Durability Through Every Season: Matte Black Aluminum Construction

Rain, snow, sun, or debris—this cover can take it. The heavy-duty aluminum slats support up to 500 lbs of evenly distributed weight, and the matte black finish resists scratches and fading. Weather stripping and foam seals block out dust and moisture, while the overlapping tailgate design and built-in drain tubes route away water that collects in the canister. Even after storms or car washes, your bed stays clean and dry.

Full Bed Access When You Need It: Space-Saving Canister Design

You don’t lose bed space just because you want protection. The RetraxPRO MX retracts completely into a 13-1/2" deep by 12" tall canister that tucks against the bulkhead. The canister’s angled bottom leaves room underneath for long gear, and its spiral track system prevents the cover from contacting itself for longer life. When rolled out, the low-profile rails sit just 1" above the bed for a clean, integrated look.

Simple Installation: Clamp-On, No-Drill Setup

No need for drilling or special tools. The side rails clamp directly to your bed rails, and the pre-assembled canister drops in with help from a friend. Once squared up and clamped, just attach the drain tubes through the factory bed holes. It’s a straightforward setup that’s built to last, backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Video Transcript for RetraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover Review RT80201

Today we're going to be taking a look at the RetraxPro MX Hard Tonneau Cover in matte black. You can upgrade your old tonneau cover and not have to worry about any snapping or hook and loop connections. The RetraxPro MX Hard Tonneau Cover is the best way to cover up your truck bed. One of it's great features is, it can be locked anywhere along the rails you please. It's perfect for keeping your gear dry, covering up that fifth wheel head and you can even use it to secure your elongated cargo. The latch itself doubles as a handle. When you're ready to lock it, it sits flush within the cover and you can lock it up with the included keys.

When you've done that you can put the cover over top. The whole thing rolls up into the flush mounted box for a low profile design. It only takes up about 12 inches of space behind your cab. It's a simple clamp on installation and the rails only sit about an 1-1/4" high on top of our truck bed rails. Here on the inside they take up about 1-3/4". The sealed ball bearing rollers within the cover make opening and closing easy.

And because they're sealed, they're maintenance free. The whole thing is made out of an industrial strength aluminum, it's gonna keep out the elements and it can support distributed loads of up to 500 pounds. When used with the locking tailgate, it's furthers your security. The whole thing is UV protected and it features a limited lifetime warranty. It's an easy no drill installation, it simply attaches to your truck bed rails with the provided clamps. And that's going to complete our look at the RetraxPro MX Hard Tonneau Cover.

Pretty stellar product. No buyer's remorse on this end.

The RetraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover does leak more water then I thought it would or was lead to believe it would. Also, I thought it would lock in different locations when it was rolling in or out but it doesn't. Question is would I buy it again most likely not because of the issue with the leaking water & not locking in different positions everything else is what I thought it would be, thank you.
