Good job on showing how to do this! 👍🏻

Installed a Retrax Pro MX on my 21 F150 SCrew Platinum 6.5' bed. Not my first Retrax Pro MX. Was great first year and a half or so. Now it leaks like a seive. Not just along the edges but all over.

I’ve had two 8 footers no problems. Tailgate seal is very important. The wind will create a vacuum and pull water rain. From underneath the tailgate. I’ve had just about all of the types at one time or another. From the toppers to the vinyl roll ups. That fit on top of the bed. One question on the side handle. If you didn’t like pushing on the sides of the roll n lock. Thinking you might knock it out of alignment. What’s the difference of pulling on the handle 8 times a week?

Just ran across your video. Are the LED lights at the front of the truck bed factory or did you DIY them? Great idea!

Very nice🙋, How do I get the dip stick out? It hits the seat and will have to bend 45 degrees? Thanks So Much. OK! I figured it out. Now I need to hose off the engine, anything need covered up?

Great Video, Thanks for posting

Does this fit a stock fox body ?

I changed the pads but it didn’t work, the failure continues... Do you think it’s the opposite side? Where did you put the insulating tape? Do you think I should try to lift the metal so that it doesn’t make contact with the plate?

2012 MKZ with no sound. After 4 hours of research and pricing out replacements, I stumbled upon your video. Figured it wouldn't hurt to spend $8 and try it myself. It worked!! Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Thaaaaanks! Was looking for the spacing all day 😅

Worked perfectly on my 2015 MKX. Amazing! The amp on my MKX was in the rear of the vehicle. I watched another video for its removal, but the amp looked identical for the work to be done. Thanks again for a great video!

I'm pretty sure the thermal pads are to create pressure and contact on the opposite side of the transistors so they can ground onto the amplifier housing. When the pads wear out, they no longer push hard enough on the backside to make this ground consistently. For those of you who did not succeed, you may want to try and double up the padding to force more contact on the other side.

@whitetailgarage are you still liking the retrax system?

Awesome videos keep it up 👍🏼

It seems like the tape doesn’t cause grounding to stop, but rather those points are there to push in the pcb so that the thermal pads are sandwiched more Between the heatsink. Poor design. Great video.

I think Kentucky mustang has the rear tack strip.

Will this driver side acuator cause air to blow hot only on the driver side ac vents while all other vents are blowing cold

I have a mule that needs a lot of love can you please help me!

Thanks sooook much. I was having the exact same problem with my 2014 MKX. I got the pads, followed your instructions and now it works perfectly! I really appreciate you posting this.

I love reviews like this. Short & straight to the point & a follow up of how the parts feel & react. I was going to go with all fox shocks myself but im never off road in my 11 F250 6.7 4X4 off Road, unkess im at the lake which isnt to often plus as you have stated they are over priced & people pay for the name to look & feel cool lol 😅. Anyhow When i got my truck it already had cheap Monroe shocks in the front & idk what the rears are "cheap somethings i assume" 😂 but they are all overly worn & leaking badly and the ride is sloppy , bouncy & rough 😮 I decided to try the NEXUS shocks but the ones i received were to big so iv got the rough country's coming in now, hopefully they will work ok for me but we shall see. It already had a "pro comp" dual steering stabilizer kit on it & a Billestein factory replacement steering stabilizer. All of those ive checked & are good however im still thinking of possibly upgrading the dual stabilizer kit as well just to see if i cant get an even better performance out kf the front end. My truck is fully deleted & tuned "mildly built" but still needs some tlc however 1 step at a time. Anyhow thank you for the review i appreciate your time brother 🙏

Great video - what thickness was the thermal pad?

Where did u buy that plastic blue tool

Great job on the video. I saw in the comments about a chain and a lift. ?

Here's a couple of tips......Use paraffin wax to lube the channels on a Retrax system, never any petroleum based lube. I have a dually with an 8' bed and it's difficult to open or close my Retrax due to the fenders, my solution was to take a 8' wood dowel rod and screw a hook into one end. I can use the stick to grab the cover to close and use it to push the cover open. It's much easier to use because you're pushing or pulling from the middle or center of the cover

The stupid music ran me off half way thru...........

How to get a power top back if the motor goes bad?

To me the Retrax Pro MX and Retrax Pro XR are the best low profile tonneau covers money can buy. Over 500lbs spread out across them easily, one handed operation, locks in any position, doesn’t interfere or impede with the tailgate whatsoever, it doesn’t bulge or protrude above the bed rails and looks like it’s made for the trucks, they are the most water resistant covers I’ve ever used and they don’t block the rear window. They basically make it so you have a convertible trunk/bed at all times and your gear is safe and secure. I have one on a 5th gen 2020 Ram 2500 Laramie 6.7 Cummins and a 2023 Ford F350 Platinum 6.7 power stoke long bed. Flawless operation and ease of use on both. I don’t use the racks like I thought I would, but it’s nice to know I could on my Retrax Pro XR

I had a roll n lock on my last truck for 12 years and it worked flawlessly. I really like the smaller canister that allows me to use large totes as storage underneath it. I did have to realign it once. I think yours just needed realigned and it would slide well again. I’ve just ordered a new one for my new truck and was told that they no longer lock into the tailgate since automatic tailgates are more common these days they’ve done away with that feature.I like the feature so I’m not sure if it’ll still come with the lock bar as an option though, I’ll find out when it gets here.

Enjoyed the video, thank you. Seat belt install at 13 minutes. Glove box install at 17:35

Helpful video, thank you

Great video, thank you

ive owned my fair share of covers and the roll n lock is by far the biggest piece of shit

Thanks for sharing this. I have an 87 mustang that I am putting on and it is my first time. My wire on is the same as your 66 and I was unsure about it and your video helped me. Like you stressed out and nervous doing it. Thanks again.

What is part number for new connector?

Power steering upgrade?

So I tried this and it didn’t work sadly (even tried with two other amps). The radio turns on, but no sound is coming from the speakers whatsoever. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Definitely worked on my mks

It would be helpful if you told us what was going on 😊

I have this kit for my 92 gt. Im glad i found your video. Already see plenty of helpful tips. I always feel companies like aeromotive should have install videos because paper instructions suck. Thank god for people like you and youtube

thanks for the tutorial - very clear and informative. But what about the wiring? With a single position wiper switch?

Glad you sorted out the brakes. I watched both videos on the brake booster project. My 66 Mustang Sprint is standard with linkage so manual brakes until I decide to do a cable clutch but I’m planning on a dual bowl system. Someone switched mine to DOT-5 but the kept the single bowl system. They work surprisingly well but single bowl could be a single point of failure.

Wow!! I’ve been without sound for 6 months now, this worked in my 2015 mkz!! thanks so much

Hello. Just fixed the same problem. The side with metal points should be contacted with metal body, it’s just a ground point and thermo contact. You don’t need replace thermo gaskets, when you do that, you just create downforce on transistor. I tried to push on transistor with finger without body, and it’s start working. Tried to solder it, and no luck, same, start working only with downforce. The problem inside of first transistor, just swap it with second one, and right now have sound, but sometimes front speakers out of work. So the problem is transistor, not thermo gaskets

Fuckin thieves. Break in and take nothing! Guess there were no guns or big bills. Left the checkbooks and dollar bills.

Thanks for the video. Doing all 4 corners Bilsteins on my 2021 6.7 hopefully this weekend if UPS plays nice. Did you lift your vehicle at all or place jack stands to complete? Did you remove tires?

I used flat headed self tapping screws on mine

Thank you. Your video saved me over $600. I was able to repair my 2013 Nav Amp in 2.5 hours.

Get to the point?!

Really came here to see how you flush mounted them. Did you use the existing slots? Did you drill thru the case?

Awesome video! Have a few questions. 1. CJ pony says the hardware for the dynacorn bracket is for 65-66. Does this matter if my motor is from a 67? 2. I’m new to all this stuff, how difficult was it to connect the wire from the breaker? Can I use any wire and where exactly do I connect it?
