I saw that earlier today. I ordered 2 weeks ago and it's still not shipped so I contacted them and they are going to issue a credit to my card for the difference in price and said they will expedite my shipment. I will post back here if all that really happens. And I will post in big letters if it doesn't happen. LOL
Guess I shoulda waited another day, ordered mine from Gator yesterday for 259..
They might price match if you reach out to them.
I’ve got the gasket. I need to find out where it goes. Instructions don’t mention anything about it. Any tips you could give would be appreciated. TIA
I had to look it up too. Apparently it’s for the tailgate to keep dust out of the bed. I have attached a picture of how I installed mine based on a YouTube video.
Awww, you got lucky with the logo. It isn't too bad but I also like the clean look with out any advertisements. I got in the bed with the cover and tailgate closed to take pictures of the gaps,
I didn’t get a gasket? Also can someone please explain to me how to do the final two twisting knobs that slide onto the rail system and then you tighten them. I just can’t figure it out for some reason.I had to look it up too. Apparently it’s for the tailgate to keep dust out of the bed.

This is my issue. It have it install on all 4 corners, but I cannot figure out the last 2 that slide onto the bed rail somehow.
Sorry to keep spamming this topic. It looks like from your picture, we don’t install the final twist downs (the ones attached to the vinyl loop) to the bed rail, and just to the edge of the bed itself? Are these the ones that scratched up the plastic? This is the part that confused me as I started to take the rail end cap off (cracked it because it’s cheap plastic), and realized the cargo sliders can’t possibly come off easily. The instructions are vague so I got confused..*Lengthy post with pictures
No need to speculate, you can't have a perfect seal with a folding cover. If it rains hard and if there's enough wind, water will find it's way into the bed. There will always be compromises made to balance the functionality of such cover, the look and sealing it off.
Gap where the edge seal meets (or in this case doesn't meet) the corner seal
Gap at the hinges
Gap in the truck plastic cover pieces on the sides
If light leaks, water might leak...
Gap between the plastic covers
Second fold
First fold
Tailgate sides
Tailgate top
Looking at the tailgate seal I thought it was pretty good but in reality it is not making much contact with the tailgate. If the cover was 1/4"-1/2" longer, it would seal the top end of the tailgate very well. I might stick some additional seal to the cover on this edge when I get it.
Scratches on the plastic cover from the Al clamp
I put some foam tape on the side that is against the plastic
I want to know your ideas on how to get rid of those scratches. They are on the surface and not deep.
I mainly intend to use this tonneau cover to hide contents of the bed (mostly groceries) and luggage on road trips. I purchased a $30 cargo carrier bag from Harbor Freight, and it did a great job of keeping our bags dry through heavy rain and strong winds, I intend to use it and both together should make it pretty waterproof.
