About a month ish ago, I purchased and setup the Mx4 Bakflip cover for my 2021 Tacoma double cab 5 foot bed. The thing is great and is what I want, low profile, tri hard and folds right to the cab. However, it seems to be leaking a good amount toward the cabs corners, which from what I read on another older post is notorious, the “middle” where the tire “humps” are and the tailgate. I used gasket sealant on the corners toward the cab which is what that other post suggested, unable to test currently since it’s winter with no rain in CT (town where I am at least), but I am not sure what to do in the middle. Are you supposed to put the “bulkhead seal” on or in the rails? Everything is snug and closes correctly and for $1000, that’s a little ridiculous to leak that much. I contacted their support of course and was just given more of those rubber “lines” for the bulkhead but that’s not where the water is leaking. Would it just be better to find a reseller that installs then to have them check? First time owner of a truck and putting on the cover so apologies for being a noob lol. Thanks for the help in advance!

    (I’ll post some pictures for examples. This was after a contactless car wash just to see how it does, and before the gasket sealant on the corners. Sorry they are on the top, don’t post often enough to edit it correctly haha)

    Usually not the cover/cap. Had a Leer that I thought leaked. Water was coming from the wheel well, up and under the side caps.
