Very nice. Great choice.
Best part. It is hard not soft. It can't be sliced open. By some low life or kids walking by for kicks.

The only other choice I feel is better, would be the BakFlip mx4. It is more money $$$. When the BakFlip folded up and forward it offers protection to the rear window, while loading large items or something that may shift while braking.
Good luck

Looks good. Are the panels metal or some sort of poly/plastic?

Looks like a nice trip fold cover.

Most all the hard folding covers are a very thin aluminum.

Some (like the Extang Solid Fold) are Thermoplastic. The (very) thin aluminum ones do not stand up well to small hail. I always see tons of them on Marketplace -- with dents all over.

The listing does say fiberglass panels and the other materials I'm not sure. Going to wash the truck later today and we shall see how waterproof the cover will be.

The top is actually waterproof.
It is going to be the areas around where it attaches to the front, water will pool where there isn't any area for it to drain like a regular truck bed. The top rail that has areas for water to seep between.
Showing in my pictures.
Depending on how tight you have the back clamps. You may have some seepage at the tailgate. Seeing as how the tailgate has a small upward spoiler like lip. That prohibits water from draining off the back, but most of that should run down inside the back side of the tailgate and drain through the bottom gap.
That is where you are going to get water seepage.
Good luck

Yes. Just finish washing the truck and sure enough I have water coming through. The second picture. That's the location water is getting in but not a whole lot. I will head out tomorrow and see what I can find to seal that leak.

As an electrician we use duct seal in underground conduits to keep them dry. That is what I used. It fills in all voids. In the Coast Guard it was known as monkey sh*t.

This is a leaking point, I put some thick foam weather stripping there to fill the gap on both sides where the bed rail pieces meet. I used 1/2" w x 1/2" l x 1/2" h piece of foam.

Good idea. I will give the monkey sh*t a try. Thank you good sir.

I have this cover and weatherstrip near the cab and I used plumbers putty on the side where Toddman45's pic shows a water leak point. have had no issues other than water getting in around the tailgate at times during hard rains

Try some tailgate weatherstripping, I got a whole 10 ft roll for $30 on Amazon. Keeps the water out at the tailgate as well. After I installed the cover I hammered it when I washed it everywhere nook and cranny with the hose sprayer and I had only one small drop right at the top of the tailgate on the left side.

So the tailgate weatherstripping really helped keeping water out.
