Maverick Bed Cover water intrusion into the bed

[Maverick357]

Well my 2023 Maverick truck bed cover is far from water resistant. If it rains anything in the bed gets soaked. I actually filed a complaint with

Most of them do leak - some more than others.

And it snows in Norway, and in other news...

I ordered a tonneau from an aftermarket provider and I'm hoping it actually ships and arrives before I die...and if it leaks I will figure out how to minimize/eliminate the problem.

Mine has minor leaks going thru a brushless car wash. It was $300. I can live with that.

Good luck with your complaint. Mine leaks. I put all items in a large plastic container. Now everything stays dry.

True dat. I failed to notice the OP's post count.

Drive-by.

One forum I was a member of years ago had a minimum post limit before you could start a thread.

My cover leaks a little but I don't care... It's a truck bed and no cover will be water tight... That's why when I bought a cover I didn't go for some crazy expensive cover. I paid under 250 for my cover and it has been great!

Same here. Got the $329 hard trifold from Amazon. Biggest issue is the gaps down the sides of the tailgate.

I solved that issue by not installing a bed cover and not having anything in the bed when it rains. It's worked well so far.

Ford says they aren't waterproof.

Don’t have a bed cover but I can tell you my SofTopper cover I have hasn’t leaked one drop into the bed (I’ve had it since last spring but I didn’t leave it on all the time. I put it on this past October though and it’s been on the truck since then).

Only complaint I have for it, really, is the back flap, though it zippers on the side, has Velcro you have to attach to the black trim piece on the tailgate and that peels when it’s hot so you have replace it often when it’s warm out. Not a huge issue just annoying some times. I’ve spoken with them about it and they suggest using gorilla glue to attach the Velcro. I’m thinking about taking the trim panel off and fabricating a more permanent frame around the Velcro pieces then reinstalling it on the truck. Snaps would be a good option too.
