I've got a trifold factory-installed bed cover. After a touch-free car was I noticed that a significant amount of water had gotten into the bed.
There is an about half inch gap between the tailgate and the cover, so I suppose that's expected.
Questions:
Is that normal?
Are there any tips and...
Just got a text message from the installer
The link above still does not show the bumper, but probably there are other template providers. Anyway, getting it done tomorrow.
Most definitely! But only if you are lucky and the rock would hit the deflector. If it flies above it, which is most of the windshield surface that is unprotected, then it won't. 🙂
A friend of mine had a similar issue about a month ago with his Lexus. Brand new, no impact - the glass just cracked. He was able to have it replaced by the dealership as a part of new car warranty.
There is some progress. Still no templates for the bumper yet, but the 2025 is now in the list, and some other templates are becoming available.

If you drive a car whose manufacturer recommends regular gasoline, paying more for premium is a waste of money. It provides no increase in power or fuel economy, and no reduction in exhaust emissions, when premium gasoline was used in cars designed for regular.
Interesting... WHY??
Status update:
Exterior detailing - done
Tailgate assist damper - done
Clear bra - partially done, waiting for the patterns to become available for the bumper, Xpel doesn't have it yet for the 2025 Maverick.
Rustproofing - done
Dashcam - should be done on Tuesday
Extended warranty - done...
I meant for the Lariat, it's a part of the Black Appearance Package. Otherwise the standard is a combination of bluish-grey and almond, whatever it's called.
