Water in the bed...

[dbrownarng]

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone has found a way to seal the back tailgate gaps towards the top along the corners and edge of their Tonneau cover to prevent water from getting in?

What kind of cover do you have?

Hard roll up.

Thank you!

Correct me if I am wrong. It seems from your photo that your cover does not extend all the way to the tailgate trim it leaves that gap open? If so purchase another cover. Here is the cover on mine Tremor, it seals the gap.

Whew! I thought it was a post about bed wetting
soft roll up and it stays dry

Is it just me or does the tailgate seal just barely touch your tailgate? Maybe you can move the cover to the rear just a hair to get a better seal on top?

I was looking at that, but that's how it came from the factory and right now it's flush with the back of the bed just below the window.

I found from my own experience that the installation of the cover is more important than the cover itself. When I installed mine I was very particular about making sure it covered everything. Had the wife shine my spotlight all around the edges while I laid in the bed to make sure I saw no light coming through. Bought the "Undercover Ultra Flex Tonneau Cover, UDC-UX22032" from TonneauCoversWorld.com for about $970 and I can assure you, it has kept out the heaviest rains from leaking into my bed.

The pin stripes look great on the black paint. Did you do that yourself?

I have the Tuxedo Sentry hard roll-up tonneau cover & it keeps out rain & very, very tiny amount of water even in a high pressure car wash.

You have to split the difference in front and back .
I have a soft one and it works great

Look around where your fender wells meet the truck bed. Mine had sealer missing.

Yes I did. Had that in mind already even before I received my Tremor. Being a black truck I needed some contrast.
