P250UA5Retrax Bed Cover: Crooked when Closed
One of our company trucks has a Retrax [unsure of model, no labels other than the Retrax badge] cover on it.
When closed, it's even & proper with the tailgate.
After a bit of jostling, the passenger [non-latch] side is askew, enough to have a gap & allow water into the bed [significantly more than if it stayed fully closed]
Do not have the manual, and am not sure if there is supposed to be some sort of latch on the passenger side [or maybe some kind of friction hold].
Anyone knowledgeable on these, and have any troubleshooting tips? Can try to grab a photo next time I get out o our warehouse, where the truck is parked.

triggertreatYou might try here to find the model

P250UA5Looking at the comparison, it's either a Pro XR, One MX or One XR, as it's separate key locked.
I don't think it's a Pro XR or One XR, as it doesn't look like it has the rack compatibility.
So, based on their site, I'm guessing a One MX
Looks like postimg is still not playing nice, so I can't post the photo of the gap at the moment.
Edit: Let's see if it works
I can pull it to the end, but after driving a bit, it retracts to this position.

Mustang-PaPaKnow nothing of the brand or how its installed but the first thing that pops out to me is the bed square.
I would try to completely olen it up and measure from corner to corner in an X patter to see if the bed is square to start with.

4MUL8RHave a retrax. Here is how I fixed mine. I called retrax. I gave them the details including the serial number. I asked for replacement parts. They sent them at no charge.
I pulled the system out. I installed the new box side plate that has the spiral alignment feature. I reinstalled the box top. No issues.
Call the man.

AKSuperDuallyI finally got sick of mine, and tossed it in the garbage.
The day I bought a diamondbackHD was the best day for my pickup.

P250UA5It's a company truck that I was driving for a week or so, giving a small consideration to buying it.
