I installed mine this week. The part of the Retrax clamp that is closest to the edge of the truck bed is far too short to maintain a solid grip. As you tighten, the back jaw will eventually slip off. Even with the 1/8” shim they provide and clamping down the track from above/ below with other clamps @BHunted mentions to push the track further down ... I ended up using a makeshift shim that was the same thickness but but longer/wider and it allowed the clamp to get a solid purchase. I reported to Retrax that they need to redesign the clamp or allow for a different configuration to resolve this.
