I have a hard tonneau that leaked there. I used the thickest (I think 1/2"x1/2" D shaped) automotive rubber weather strip I had lying around. Only extended it back a foot or so from the front. No leaks now, even when washing. I did clean the rails well before applying the strips.

FWIW, I also installed one of the 4" rubber tailgate gap strips, which made a big difference keeping dust and moisture out from the rear.
