    I installed a Retrax MX bedcover a couple of months ago.This is the second one I’ve had put on my truck. I had it “professionally” installed but the screwed up and it leaked the screws rusted and they scratched my truck and I had problems with it leaking. I’m having trouble with it leaking since I’ve installed it though. I’ve sealed in between the slats on the inside of the cover with flex seal and the outside of the end cap with clear silicone, but I’m still having trouble with it water getting in. The foam is sealed down tight as well as the rubber flap under my back glass. It seems to get water the most right under the back glass.Any suggestions or solutions? Does everyone else have problems with theirs leaking? Or am I the only one?

    Welcome to TW! If the screws are rusting sounds like water is coming in that way too.

    Thanks for the replies and the welcome. I got a new one from the manufacturer and it still leaks. All the screws are holding up now.
