Had this exact issue with my SD. I cut the cover hold-downs by sandwiching a hacksaw blade between 2 pieces of sheet metal to prevent damage to the bed rail and the tri-fold.
I wasn’t happy about it, but it worked. Had to buy new hold-downs but got in for repairs without significant damage.
My 2024 Mav was listed as In Production as of last night.
I tried all of the links above to view/get my WS with no luck.
This link did however work.....YMMV
OP specifically asked about 2024 Mav wait times......so here's another data point
Ordered my EB XLT 4x4 on July 19.
Received Production Schedule on August 24
Scheduled build week of October 23
That's all I know/have at this point.....
