Gator ETX Soft Tri-fold - side water leakage normal?

I've had this cover for a few weeks now, it only just started raining recently so I couldn't gauge its effectiveness til now.

This is after a few hours of soaking rain, plus a 30min drive to the store and back. Is this normal or do I have a defective cover?

Honestly, it only leaks a bit on the sides, and with a bed mat coming soon it really wouldn't get anything wet so I feel like I could just deal with it. It was only a $230 cover anyway... just not sure how much I should expect from it.

Thoughts?

 

Can’t really comment on the gator one . I had a Tonnopro soft cover . The only spots I noticed that leaked was by the cab . Might want to check your measurements and that you didn’t over tighten the cover . The soft ones can warp easily if over tightened .it might be the seal also .

 

Thanks, I'll check but I feel like its tightened a normal amount honestly

 

bump, anyone have experience with this cover?

 

i have the gator efx hard tri fold cover that i bought 2nd hand from someone on marketplace. Waited for it to rain and mine does the same. I guess it's hard to keep all the rain out? I have drain holes in the top bed corners also.

 

My truxedo cover does it too. I think it's pretty normal for soft covers. I could probably seal it up but it's not bad enough for me to care, it just drips down the side and goes under my bet mat anyways.

 

Ok thanks guys. Thats kind of what i figured, it wont be an issue once i get my bed mat.
