Hoping for some input as just had Leer Canopy installed on 2024 Ford maverick.. Heavy rain and water leaks in at cab but I'm not sure if it's worth complaining as I don't even k ow where the water would go? Also it looks great but there is a different reveal on each side of the glass window/hatch at back. Anyone else had this issue? Pretty minor and not sure if worth taking it back to be adjusted?

I am guessing, with Mavericks unibody construction. The bed is not separate from the cab, thus not allowing a good place for water to drain when a cap is put on the bed.

Too bad the cap manufacturers don't take note from the old El Camino caps and have them seal directly to the cab. This would improve the rearview also.

I had an El Camino with a cap and you're right: it never leaked. All of the Maverick caps I've seen so far have a gap that's worse than unnecessary, and it would be so simple to seal to the cab roof.

I am reaching out to the Leer dealer locally (it's an auto glass shop as well) to see what can be done. If not them, perhaps a fiberglass repair shop could mod the cap's leading edge to mate with the cab...fingers crossed.
