I have had the Rollbak for about 5 months. Im currently getting rid of it in favor of an ARE hardcover. The reason im getting rid of it is becuase the screws where you put the top in has rusted all the way and therefor made my cover (the 1 foot by 5? foot part) fall off while on the freeway. Not only that but the rear of it has splitted open on both sides so that when you pull the cover to close it.... it will come off its rails. Ill will try to post pics for you if you want so you can see what im talking about. Maybe tomorrow when its light out?

I like my Retrax, but it hasn't held up too well in the hot summer. I'm on my second cover as the first one warped during the summer heat. Retrax Customer Service is great, and was very quick to resolve the problem. I'm giving mine through this summer, but may look at options next fall if this one warps too. Functionally they are hard to beat IMO, but it doesn't look to great when it's wavy from warping in the sun.
I have a Retrax as well and it does get wavy but I've noticed this varies with the temperature. When it's cold, the composite slats contract and the cover tightens up. At this time, it appears totally flat. During hot weather, as you mentioned, it does expand and grow wavy.
