    Sorry. My first post. My factory tonneau is leaking. I sealed the spots against the cab but the problem seems to be these huge gaps. Is something missing on this install? Thanks

    Factory cover is shit. The left side of mine leaks. Seems like the seal shifts and allows water in no matter how I move it.

    Hey, they all leak withought doing some kind of extra sealing in certain areas. Depends on how much rain you get while parked outside, but the tailgate area is the biggest problem.....
