Embark LS / Retrax Pro XR Read This Before installation

[Bsenecal]

The tailgate seal is flimsy. I picked up some self-adhesive backed weatherstrip at a local body shop(5/8" half round) and stuck it onto the metal edge just inside of the tailgate seal on the cover. That took care of any leaks, I can pressure wash and it keeps water out now. As for the sides of the tailgate....still waiting for seal kit to arrive!

Sad that we have to do that on a cover that costs $2k.

I'm getting rid of my 2020 Ranger and my Retrax is up for grabs. Whoever wants it, 1500.

It's 2 mos old.

Were you able to seal the tailgate sides and bottom ?

Not yet... I’ve had a seal kit on order for 2 months. Getting stuff out of the US right now is crazy... ?

They look great, what width cross members did you go with?
Where did you purchase and how long was the wait? A while ago they were out of stock everywhere I looked.

60” cross arms. I ordered Dec 7th and took about 2 months for both the racks and the cover. Ordered through a local company. According to them, the distributer for the racks were slowly building inventory

You should be able to get yours a lot quicker in the states. Shipping to Hawaii is what kills it for us down here
