Paint damage due to tonneau cover

[BigNASTY]

Wondering if door edge guard might be a good idea on the rail lip edge.

I’ve had a hard rolling tonneau on my ‘23 Maverick since the first week or so that I’ve had it (since new). I just got a warranty replacement because the vinyl was starting to peel up on the end. Since there was some corrosion in the clamps, they went ahead and sent a whole new kit.

when I removed the old cover, I expected to see some marks on the plastic, but what I didn’t expect to see was damage to the paint.

Evidently the tonneau cover rails push the bed trim into the paint. After two years and about 25,000 miles, there is damage down both sides that runs the length of the bed.

The damage is done on this truck, but I’m not sure I’ll buy another tonneau cover going forward.

What brand Tonneau cover do you have?
