The Truth About Mountain Top Roll Cover for Ford Ranger

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very helpful

Look on the black drain hoses as mine was going up hill so I drilled lower holes in the tub liner and pushed the pipes back in ,also make sure your running tracks are spaced right as this jams the roller and the rubber seals will be loose ,I had to adjust mine and the gave them a spray with silicone spray ,I get about a cup of water in now ,its 90% better

Very good review, it kills the idea to get one on mine, thx for the good demonstration, thumb up.

Also B&Q sell big black plastic boxes with lids ,i keep my stuff in them but make sure you get the right hight ones that fit under the roller ,dont forget its a pickup lol

Thanks for the review. I was just about to purchase one. Have now changed my mind. Will look at the EGR rolltrac one.

Thanks for the insight mate, good video, very helpful !!

Thanks for the video! I mean, I've been asking for roller shutter's info from many accessories shops and no one ever explained these to me.

I've just cleaned out my drain pipes from my MTR canister. These drains are a redesign by my local Mazda dealer about 3 years ago but still block up. I have pushed a 1.6mm trimmer line into the tube and they now drain, when I fill the canister with water. The 1.6mm lines should vibrate as I drive and keep the drains clear. Additionally they act as 'wicks' to assist drainage when the water level is low.

Thanks for this review. Like you, I had assumed the design of these would be able to keep bed contents dry. I'm thinking of getting a Ranger instead of a car so this has highlighted vital information which I will need to follow up on. Thanks.

Good review, wish i had seen this earlier. Will be getting mine in a week or two

A great video thanks. I have the exact same issues. Who thought at Ford that this was a good idea. And yes its not waterprof. I will persevere just like you and hopefully I can get it water tight also. Thanks again.

Love your review and what a beautiful street and stone structures- I have the same top without the Spring loaded return and it is a mess- I agree paid the price for it of my 1st used car and it leaks like a sieve!

Great work Mountain top 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is a video on the importance of servicing. You did a great job servicing the rolltop in the end. I will buy one after watching your video. Thanks. To be fair to you. If there was shavings in your drain tubes, from the install from Ford. That's pretty bad on their part. How you're parking your Ranger is also playing a big part in the issues you're having. If you reversed into that parking space. All water would drain away from the canister, not into it. Better yet. If you organised your garage and made space for the Ranger. You would have to service it way less also. As most leaves and debris would be avoided.

Just purchased a 2008 Wikdtrack and Mine is leaking like a sieve through the slats...cleaned out the drain holes and lubricated the runners ascit was clear nothing had ever been done to it....but still leaking bad...my Mitzy L200 had a rollnlock shutter which is far better than the armadillo...it has a vynal cover over the slats preventing water coming through them...one of the forums says there should be tape underneath at the slat joints but these fall off after a while...

Also part 2 lol ,I shut my self in the tub and I could see daylight buy the roller box each side so I filled them with silicone ,might strip the whole thing off in summer and seal it properly as i was told ford dont do a good job

One word ...Truckman👍

Thank you for advise! Love the truck. Why don’t Ford sort this out! People pay good money for these trucks and I don’t understand how something so simple couldn’t be made or available!

Thanks for sharing your experience. Best regards from Argentina.

Watched to the end, and it seems that regular maintenance is the key, and what Mountain Top recommend to keep it running smoothly...thanks
