In case you haven't yet, check your drain hoses. They might clogged up.Ford factory hard tonneau cover. Trust me it leaks. I have added extra foam on all four corners and where tail gate meets back lift. Called factory and they want you to deal with Ford. I now put all items in plastic containers to stay dry.
I'm that poster. I'm pretty certain I'm not installing anything incorrectly. What could I possibly be doing wrong to make the hinges/panels leak water and drip through the locks?
Mine stays dry
Must be someone over tightening the fasterns at the factory, or drilling through the top, and the same person keeps making yours. As noted, this does not happen with mine.I'm that poster.

I've spent literally hours and hours trying to figure out how/where the water is intruding and trying to caulk up gaps. All unsuccessful.
Bak seems to agree - they're replacing my THIRD mx4 for free under warranty. This time they're sending a revolver x4s to try - hoping for better luck! I do give their customer service a ton of credit
Who knows, it's just bizarre three in a row had the same problem. Glad you're liking yours - it was a really nice cover otherwise.
I had the Xs4 and had this very issue and you are correct it is a design flaw. I called Bak about it several times and sent pictures and they told me it is desiged that way on purpose to not damage the tailgate. Luckily I got mine from Realtruck and was able to exchange it for the Sentry CT. With the Truxedo Senty Ct it looks like they actually designed it to fit the Maverick unlike the Bak X4s which looks like they just tried to jerry rig something made for another truck onto the Maverick. Much happier now and would highly recommend the Sentry Ct.I got the X4S, and unfortunately havent been too happy with it. I know that no tonneau is going to be 100% water proof, but there is a major design flaw up by the tailgate. I can see into the bed (if i throw a flashlight in there) when the tonneau is closed through the corners by the tailgate. The trifolds and some other tonneaus, seem to be able to extend far enough on the sides/corners so this isnt an issue. I bought this because i thought it was going to be more secure AND good at keeping weather out, but not with the way it was designed. I contacted the manufacturer and all I am being told is "try to pull the tonneau more towards the tailgate" which wont actually do anything cause the the problem is width, not length, or "let us sell you some sealant tape for the tailgate" which also wont help.
Good to know. I will have to reach out to RealTruck to see if i can swap it out. Sounds like there are some "solutions" others have figured out to help fix it, but would definitely rather have a product designed right the first time.

Will the Sentry work with a bed extender?
I don't have a bed extender but I've read on other posts here that it will. There is nothing sticking into the bed other than the side rails. I can tell you for sure the Xs4 wont work with one because it has brackets for the locks that go into the bed probably 3 inches past the rails.
I have the hard Tri Fold cover on mine from Ford and no leaks at allFord factory hard tonneau cover. Trust me it leaks.
