    Hey All,
    Just installed my Bakflip G2 and noticed a fairly big gap on each side. I haven’t sprayed water on this but I feel like this would allow a lot of water in.
    Did I miss something on the install?

    It seems like you have an unsually big gap in between your tailgate and your frame. I had the Bakflip MX4 on my truck for about a year and a half and didn’t have that issue at all.

    Did you ever have a lot of weight on top of the bed, like a Roof top tent or shell, that may have distorted the bed?

    I can’t say for sure I got the truck used…
    But from what I’ve seen I haven’t seen any signs of that.
