MaxMate Tonneau Roll Cover in Car Wash

[chartzngrafs]

Wondering if anyone has experience going through car washes with the MaxMate tonneau cover. The one I go through has brushes but they’re not super high pressure. Would it be better to go through the car wash with the cover rolled up and then unroll it to dry? Wondering about your experience with that. Would be annoying to not be able to go through the car wash any longer.

I don't have the same cover you mentioned. I have a Keko soft cover. https://kekousa.com/product/grx-soft-roll-up-tonneau-cover/
I take my truck through a brush car wash and it never has any trouble.

I had the factory trifold installed. The Car wash causes a leak in to the rear of the bed on both sides. The first time I noticed it, it was enough to soak a cover in the rear. Since then, I've unbolted and reset it closer to the rear window. (There was an overlap).
Then I ran it through again and noticed that there was a puddle of water on the right side of the cover. So, I went to Home Depot and bought weather stripping. Installed on the right and left side. Next time through, the water leak was MUCH less...
Then I brought it to another Car wash, and this time the paper towels in the bed were damp. Much better.
I'm going to the latter Car wash. And cleaning out the stuff in the bed before I go!
