It works fine for what I need, but it is a little short.

 

[New England Aaron]

Agreed with the above. Another half inch would have been ideal but it works fine.

Mine leaks a bit. Did you happen to use a seal on either the cab window side or the tailgate? Wondering how I can fix that.

Is it a good thing that the rubber weather strip is real snug against the top of the tailgate to the point you have to tug on the tailgate to open it? My thinking is it makes for a better seal to prevent water from seeping in, but having never owned a truck before I thought I'd ask the community.

Mine leaks in the front of the cab from the car wash test, but I think if I make a couple adjustments and add the included seal to the very ends it should keep it out. When I pul the seal on I only ran it to the ends on the inside of the cab.

I still need to make a few alignment adjustments to get it how I like it. It’s a little crooked. Like people said about half an inch to an inch longer and it would be even better. But it still works fine. I do like how easy it is to use and it’s good for the price and looks good. Plus if I decided to get BillieBars I could roll it up under them. I bought the TruxSeal to put on the tailgate and will do it when I have time.

Check out our right up, explains the leakage a little - also going through a carwash 9/10 times it has the chance of leaking since there is high-pressure water being sprayed at from every angle

I have the Truxedo Pro X15 soft rollup cover. I could not be happier with it. Easy install, looks great and has minimal water leakage.

I have just ordered a second one for a second Mav that is due to arrive shortly.

See my Id pic for look.

There's a video on the tube on how and where to plug leaks from real truck on the MAV I think it was, I watched this morning. I have the tri fold from ford but won't have a truck for a few weeks am going to take their advice. you have seams on both sides and across the back theirs nowhere for water but down, because theres no separation from bed to cab like on real truck you need to add a 1/4 gasket across the back. NO cover will keep all the water out even those 1200$ ones.
with a little effort you can limit it to very little in heavy rain or car wash, that's why ford puts drain holes in the bed. I have had half doz. pickups and they all had tonn. covers and all of them had some kind of leaking.

Forgot to mention that I have a Truxport

 

[Red Ryder]

I have Ford-branded TruXport. If properly installed, it fits and seals well.

As some others have explained, the main areas of concern are getting the cover aligned (centered) on the back rail, applying the sealing gasket across the top of the bed (between the SIBL if equipped), and getting the cover installed in the correct fore and aft position. Mine has about an inch between the rear of cab (glass) and the cover.
It fits, seals, and looks great.

Correct. I have the same one and I didn’t get the extra seal on the box. I put it on correctly and right, centered it up, and I’d say it’s about 96% watertight. That’s fine for me.

also consider that no matter how tight you make it, the bottom gaps around the bed will allow a small amount of water in when driving in the rain. It splashes up through the cracks.

a guy next door has a $1000 hard roll up cover on his Ram and I can see spots where it leaks. Same with my dads Silverado.

Do you have it sitting on top of the seal at all on the bulkhead or butted up against it.

On top.

 

[Maverick_316]

On top.

I just adjusted mine to be butted up against it. Was getting some water in from the corners from where the rocker meets the bulkhead.

When I close the tailgate it has a much tighter seal now
