Pretty straightforward install. One thing to watch for...
The thick foam seal that would go along front cross rail may seem to be too thick. It's not really, you'll just have to work it down. I tried to put a slimmer stripe in, and that didn't go well. Leaked. So back to the larger foam. So far, so good.

Thanks man . My kit came with 2 rubber sizes initially used the fat one but like you said it didn’t sit right so installed the smaller strip

My Rough Country leaks. Tried multiple weatherstripping but haven’t stopped the leaks. One place you need to address is the seam. Water like to channel in there. I put some weatherstripping in there with some sealant and it helps. Without the weatherstripping there it channels the water right into the bed

Does it not channel that extra water on top through the drain tubes? Wonder if possibly they're clogged.

Drain tubes are inside the channel of the bed rail. The only water that gets in there is from the outside lip. That part actually works good. Its the bulkhead that is the problem

You can see here it’s leaking near the channel or split in
