Away with my Leer 700 and in with my Retrax

I finally decided to get rid of my Leer Tonneau cover. I need the bed of my truck more than I thought and need it open at short notice.

Any pointers or tips needed to install this Retrax in order to go smoother? Ill be doing it on Friday...It looks easy enough.

If you know someone in Nor Cal interested in a nearly new Leer 700 Series Tonneau Cover with the bottom carpeted, let me know. Its DSG in color and is pretty much brand spankin new looking. It will fit 6.5 foot beds.

It's pretty straight forward. goes on quickly.

I had a snugtop on my ranger and I knew I wanted something that would roll out of the way. I got tired of having to take the cover off or drive with a gigantic wedge or just not get something.

Too bad you have a 6.5' bed. I took my lid off a few weeks back, but it's for a 5.5' bed.

If you can arrange a place to ship from, Ill send it to you. I live in Dublin, CA...so pretty much anywhere in the San Francisco/Oakland area is drivable for me to drop off this thing.

My Retrax shows delivery for tomorrow.

The retrax is pretty straight forward to install. Didnt take me very long at all, makes abit easier if you have a helper to lift it. All you basically have to do is attach the rails to the canister, square it on the truck and clamp it down.

Let us know how you like it, I love mine!
