But First, sorry for my Bad english. 🙀
Hello everyone, is there a way to get a hardroll cover waterproof?
I myself own the Truxedo Sentry CT and am happy with it.
I have already worked on my side rails with additional seal. However, my bedrug is always wet in the corners, front right and left.
Do you have a solution or do you know exactly where it can still run in?

You should post what truck you have, depending on the bed and Ramboxes and stuff there are different ways to do it.

Could you post pictures of where water is getting in?
Is it cracks, or under this seal of the cover?

Also check this out. Looks pretty universal.

Could also use Silicone if there are spots you know water is in

I know on my ram with ram boxes and multi-function tailgate there are weird corners up front that a cover doesn't go over, hard to explain. Its where the sides of the bed end there's like 2 squares. I was going to seal it but somehow it drains right down and doesn't collect in the end of the bed oddly enough.

Check this out

It has double sided tape on the bottom, and it's like a foam rigid piece. You can put it at the back and the rubber piece at the end rests on this
It looks like water is seeping through the very ends on the sides because the seal doesn't go all the way

I also see a TruXedo Replacement Bulkhead Seal, which looks pretty similar but appears to be a softer lower density foam

To confirm this on a hot sunny day when it's completely dry, take a garden hose on low pressure and spray the top of the cover in very small areas and see where it might come in. When you think you know where it's coming from test the other side to confirm.
I think it's the spots I marked on your pictures.
You can use foam or silicone to seal it and trim any excess silicone.
