    My 3rd gen OEM tonneau cover seems to be looser then it used to be. You can lift the last fold/section up about 1"without unlocking it. Seems to be leaking more water then ever now. Is there any kind of adjustment that can make it seat tighter to the truck?

    In for the response. Mine leaks pretty bad as well and has since I bought the truck with 6k on it. Pretty obnoxious lol

    Make sure the cleats are not interfering with the supports on the bottom of the tonneau, may have to move them an inch.

    Also interested to see if there's some sort of adjustment for the tonneau cover. I can see mine bounce while driving at the tailgate. It's most certainly latched, but still loose. Debating pulling the side covers off to see if I can't move the metal studs lower to cause the latch to engage lower.
