Retrax noise/looks
I just ordered a Retrax from a brochure. I DID do a search but only one guy mentioned that they rattle etc. post 50MPH. I'd like to hear other's experiences and how do they look compared to other brands?"
Thanks!

Recurve,
I first ordered a fold-a-cover (4 panel) and sent it back because it required 4 holes to be drilled in the side rails and it didn't look that great to me.
I placed an order with Retrax directly and got them to match my best price from an online reseller. I REALLY like the Retrax for both looks and function. I have noticed no noise at all from the cover at any speed. I can see some slight waviness in the surface (because it is a roll-up, after all!)
Easy to clean ... I just use a quick detailer spray from Zaino; or I suppose you could wax. Mine seems very watertight. The only water that enters is around the tailgate, even though I have a trailseal gasket. However, I'm talking a few drops, at most.
I would not hesitate to recommend to others, or to buy again for myself.
