3. Operating the Tonneau Cover
The RetraxONE XR features a sealed ball-bearing roller system that allows the cover to retract smoothly and effortlessly into its compact storage container located at the front of the truck bed. To open the cover, simply unlock it with the provided key and gently push it towards the cab. The cover will glide along the rails without the need for pull straps or springs.
To close the cover, pull it back towards the tailgate until it is fully extended and then lock it into position. The cover can be locked at any point along the rail, providing flexible access to your truck bed while securing your cargo.

4. Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your RetraxONE XR tonneau cover, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Cleaning: Wash the cover regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the polycarbonate material or the powder-coated finish. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
- Track Maintenance: Periodically inspect the tracks for any debris, dirt, or leaves that might impede the smooth operation of the cover. Clean the tracks using a damp cloth. Avoid applying lubricants that could attract more dirt.
- Seal Inspection: Check the seals around the perimeter of the cover and along the rails for any signs of wear or damage. Proper seals are crucial for weather-tight protection.
- Drainage: Ensure the drainage system (if applicable) is clear and free of obstructions to prevent water accumulation in the truck bed.
