OK, every once in a while someone goes a little above and beyond and deserves a little recognition.

We drove a coupla thousand miles back east in my Honda Ridgeline truck. What’s great about the Ridgeline is that it has a full size trunk under the bed. So it fit all our luggage no problem.

However, while out there, we raided the storage room in my parent’s house, and my wife wanted to take a nice big framed mirror, and a couple large framed paintings back with us home. Now, they technically belonged to my brother out in LA, but I’m sure he won’t mind.

Problem is, forecast was calling for rain on our three day drive back. To the rescue comes Retrax. Not your normal hard top tonneau cover that gets in the way when hauling, this is a sliding lexan roll top bed cover. I called and ordered, and it was delivered to me in two days at my parents place, so I had time to install it before we had to leave for home.

It looks incredible, works great, and took me and my dad less than an hour to install. It can be completely removed in about 30 minutes with no indication it was ever on there, since no holes or anything were drilled, it used existing mount points.

So we put the paintings and mirror in a large plastic bag just in case, put them in the bed, rolled the lid shut, and drove back for 3 days in the rain. No problem at all.

So thanks to the Retrax guys for getting it to me so soon, and for building a nice product.
