If your in Milan, MI. Check out a good honest small town dealer, Schultz Motors. That's where I bought mine.

Default Retrax for Rambox

I HIGHLY recommend the Retrax Tonneau for the Rambox. I purchased mine direct from Retrax and just installed it with a friend of mine this past Saturday. I'm waiting for the weather to clear so I can take some pics and post them. You can view it on Retrax's website (rolltopcover.com). It sits flush and looks really good and is really easy to install. I researched for months on which one to buy and am really glad I decided on the Retrax. Customer Service was great too...even gave me a Tail Gate Gasket (Seal) for dealer cost.

Jason, do you live in an area the gets snow? I had a Retrax on my Titan and found that ice and snow definitely impact the smooth operation of the cover. I replaced it with an A.R.E LSII fiberglass tonneau midway through my first winter in 2007 (maybe they have improved the technology since then). I understand that the A.R.E. is not an option with RamBox. I totally agree with you regarding the customer service, the looks and the concept, I just found that it didn't work nearly as well in the winter.

Milan is pretty far from me. When I was pricing my Silverado, I found the city dealers to be more competitive.

No I live in San Antonio, TX so no snow for me here. Ice could be an issue. My old Dakota had a power Pace Edwards rollback tonneau and I hated that thing. It had three pieces that were held together by three rubber gaskets (thin strips of rubber) and although the part was only $10 it was a pain in the butt to remove it and reinstall it everytime it got stuck because of ice and snow. It would freeze and snap one of the rubber gaskets. I lived in Boston at the time though. So far I'm loving the Retrax though but I definitely understand your point.
