I'm perpetually 5'11.99" tall. At 40yrs old, I still keep measuring just in case. One time on a DL application I wrote 6' and I felt like such a liar, couldn't live with myself.
This was my solution, the OEM mounts were crazy expensive.

Selling my Retrax as I recently changed it out for a topper. Retrax is in very good shape, though it's obviously been installed for the last couple of years. The "drum" has some wear marks (visible in center of photo) and the very rear leading edge has a couple as well. The surface looks great...
So I installed a new (to me) ARE CX on my Ranger and am running into trouble getting the Pop and Lock PL 9772 rear hatch door unlocker to work with my key fob. I installed the kit, wired it up, pretty nicely in my opinion, go to hit lock or unlock on the fob, and the actuator does nothing. Rest...
Oh interesting, I have no rear hoses nor have I seen a place to put any. Mind posting a pic if possible?
The fronts are good to go, I had them off recently.

They did, to their credit, no hassles at all. Really to be honest, they've been good besides how long everything has taken. I have a new transmission, rear driveshaft, and climate box, all under warranty.
I'm a hearty garage mechanic myself as well, but warranty is warranty. Like you, I guarantee I could have had it done in a weekend, which is why I'm frustrated that it's taking so long.
Truck has been in the shop for a month now, this is the "progress" picture I was sent today when I let the tech know I was coming down to pick up (I was told it would be done).
New climate control assembly under warranty (200 miles left on ESP), had them put in new actuators while they're in...
Just a heads up, I sound deadened the entire roof thinking I could help the noise from my roof rack, zero improvement.
May/may not be your experience too...
2021 here, I've had this clicking going on for a while, waiting for my one piece driveshaft to show up at the dealer so they can address both problems at once. (good thing my new trans is still going strong)
