[QUOTE="miula, post: 1116309, member: 20674"] Most of the water drips down behind the bedrug on the tailgate portion and eventually dries off without issue, the part that worries me is that the edge of the bed gets a decent amount of water that pools under the bed rug and swishes around creating a musty smell and water spots on the paint. However its impossible to know if the water is coming from the gap between the cover and tailgate or just seeping in through the joints in the bed. So far it hasn't been enough water to saturate the bedrug to the surface on the bed area. We had some luggage and the twin stroller in there over the weekend and it was dry despite driving around in the rain. The tailgate and the fabric that join the tailgate and bed section was soaked (annoying when you lean on it but not a big deal once it dries). BAK told me to just move the cover towards the gate so I am waiting for a new bulkhead seal to come in (which I did have to purchase) to try and move the rails and cover 1/4 inch towards the tailgate. When I installed it I had the seal slightly inwards of the edge of the bulkhead because it curves and now if I try to move the cover backwards like they said to, the rubber flap on the front lifts up when it contacts the seal and creates two large openings on the sides; probably my fault during initial install. It does seem like an isolated incident of my tailgate being slightly off spec although it looks perfectly aligned with the truck from every angle; perhaps the "L" brackets on the rails are 1/4 inch too short but it is difficult to know, especially with BAK customer support being so slow and repeatedly asking for pictures every step of the way as well as the local installer refusing to help because it was purchased directly from BAK and not from them... I'll post an update when I receive the parts and try to fix it. [/QUOTE]
