Do Drain Holes Need to be Drilled to Install RetraxPRO XR In 2003 Ford F-150

Question:
Looking at Retrax ProXR RTT-80312 for 2003 F150 with 6’7” standard bed. Install video said there are drain tubes to install through the truck bed’s drain holes. Where do i find them for this bed? I do not want to drill if at all possible. Thank you.

Hey David, not every vehicle has drain holes that are already present. If you don't see any already in the front of your bed you would need to drill them to install the RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover # RTT-80312 on your 2003 Ford F-150. UPDATE: They are located in the front and rear stake holes at the top, parallel to the side rails.

Just FYI, if someone else also chooses to trick out a 22 year-old truck, the drain holes for a 2003 F150 are located in the front and rear stake holes at the top, parallel to the side rails. Large and easy to find. Hope this helps.
