Anyone have any experience with this product? Looks like exactly what I'm looking for - want to be able to roll it back out of the way to hook up the 5th wheel.
The weathertight seal would be nice too since the truck is my wife's daily driver and the back seat is stuffed full of toddlers - she needs to be able to put groceries, strollers, misbehaving 2 year-olds, etc. in the bed.

A buddy of mine put one on his Dodge. It is a POS. The frame rails don't sit securely on the bed. The locking mechanism is only on one side and can slip free. The length was too long to have any room for adjustment and he had to cut the liner off the tailgate to get it to shut at all. You have to slam it really hard to get it to close. You must over the tailgate to release it. It took the two of us over 4 hours to adjust it. The way that is locks in the back is Mickey Mouse at best and again only on one side. All in all, I wouldn't use one if you gave it to me for free. My roll n lock leaks, but at least the mechanical functions work correctly.

I agree with Max Power! I looked at several over many weeks i.e. Roll-n-Lock, Pace Edwards, a variety of "hard" folding types and some soft rolling types. To me, Retrax is the most impressive!

Dittos on the Retrax... I had a Pace Edwards on my 98 K3500 which was OK but the RETRAX is much better...
