[QUOTE="BMart, post: 510508, member: 856"] I lowered the "button" as low as it can go and it made a minimal difference on the gap. Still there, but no a big deal. The rails were installed as directed, with a focus on downward pressure while clamping, and if they were somehow able to go any lower the tailgate would have trouble closing. As it is now, the tailgate already contacts the rail slightly. As for loosening the front bolts and sliding the cover back to make more contact with the tailgate, you are absolutely correct. I could do that (and probably will), but it would not fix the problem of water being able to pool and leak in at that area. My tailgate also has a Bedrug mat installed, so a regular plastic liner may seal better than mine. All things considered, none of these are a deal breaker for me and I'm happy with it. Thank you for pointing out how adjustable the cover can be, this flexibility might alleviate somebody's concerns. [/QUOTE]
