Has anyone had a problem with water seeping into cab around back window after applying rubber seals for tonneau cover bed leaks similar to those shown in Todd's RealTruck video on his Maverick? Does this cause water to get dammed up during a heavy rain thus leading to cab leaks because the water gets trapped between cab and tonneau cover due to unibody design of Mavericks?

I really doubt this would be a problem. Any water between the window and tonneau cover will not just sit there. Movement and wind will push it to the side rails unless you purposely add extra insulation to trap it there. If water were to get in the cabin then you have a problem with window seal, not the tonneau.

That's exactly what my question is about: Since Mavericks have been sold since 2022 has anyone had a problem with that window seal leaking due to unibody design preventing water from draining sufficiently in that area between tonneau cover and back window?... if my Maverick is parked in my driveway during a heavy rain ~~~"movement and wind" don't factor into the scenario to move the water away, thanks for your reply
