About SyneTrac-AR: How Auto Retractable Cover Works

How does this cover lock and unlock? What is Auto Retractable?

        In 2021, we introduced our auto retractable tonneau cover, SyneTrac-AR Series. It has integraged locks built inside the first panel and a spring inside the canister to control retraction speed. Here are some tips or guides to consider.

  • To lock and unlock, pull cover all the way to the tailgate for an auto lock and pull strap gently to the right to unlock the cover, then it will automatically retract into the canister.
  • The rolling speed can be adjusted from the tightness of the screw on the right side of the canister. Rotate the screw clockwise (represented as a rabbit) for faster and counter-clockwise (represented as a turtle) for slowering rolling. Attention: the rolling speed is already been preset to a reasonable speed by manufacturer.

        One thing needed to check before you assemble everything together is the lock mechanism. As the title picture shown, please make sure you test the locking mechanism before starting your installation per instruction on our manual, specifically make sure the tips on both sides of the cover retract smoothly, see video below. If it does not work, please record a video and contact our customer service for further instructions. We will get back to you within 48 hours on business day.
