BAK Revolver X4s - Water Leakage

[nunucello]

I have had the BAK Revolver X4s installed for couple of months now. I like the cover a lot and would recommend.

When it rains there is some water in the bed toward the tailgate on each side - as well on both sides by the cab.

I installed it well - and have double the insulation seals up by the cab.

Just curious if this is something normal which I should expect (which is my feeling, yes).

Since this is my first truck and tonneau cover - I value the experience & feedback from all of you on this forum.

Thank You.

I get the same thing with my X4s when I wash the car with a high pressure wand. (It's not our season for rain here, so I can't speak to that.)

The amount of water is small, though. I put a rubber mat about 3/4 of an inch thick with holes in it (like the kind to relieve stress of standing) in the bed and I put anything that might soak up water from below on that. Seems to work.

Real Truck guys posted a video of adding weather strips to the tailgate. I also saw someone recommending putting a bright light in the bed at night and closing it up, then using where you see light in gaps to know where to add a bit more weather stripping. I plan on doing that when the Lund Tri Fold I ordered arrives.

Thank You OXHB619 - that is a great idea.

Do you remember what type/thickness weather strip Real Truck recommends ? Looking for the video but can not find.

Thank You
