Installed Access Tonnosport cover

[mikeb9182]

Pretty easy install. The only two issues are that when I roll it up, it’s slightly uneven. Anyone run into that and know how to fix? Also, the seal at the cab is allowing water to get in. It’s dripping down the wall. Is that normal?

Have you checked and made sure you have it adjusted right.

I have had a few Access Lorados. I lowered my rails a bit to get the front seal to seat properly. And the back for that matter. I get a drip every once in a while. Not sure any of them are 100% water/air tight. Like previous poster says...might need some adjustments is all.

Pics with it rolled and uneven? Sounds like adjustment like prev stated. Water at the gate is different issue. It’s a design issue with 19 rams. Try some foam. This is 4.5” long 1.25” tall .5” thick

I've never have had a tonneau cover. But it seems to me if it's uneven when rolled up then something is out of adjustment.

Totally normal on the 19. There is no seal between the tailgate and the top rail. The idea above of foam or a rubber gasket will help significantly. RAMs design of the tailgate meeting the bed and rails is a poor one in terms of keeping water out but there are some simple and cheap fixes.

I’ll send pics of it rolled when it stops raining. Thanks for sharing the info on the Ram design. Foam seems like the simple fix

That or a simple stick on rubber weather stripping

I’m having similar issues with my Mopar hard tri fold (made by Bak). Don’t think there’s too many covers out there fully water tight. Rain gets in up by the cab, need more weatherstripping in the corners. Rain gets in by the tailgate (pics) because the water rolls off the end of the rails into the bed. Rails seem too short, although any longer and they’d impede closing of the gate. Also rain is dripping through the rails onto the wheel well, which must be a defect in manufacturing because there’s no other explanation (pics).

On a previous thread someone suggested contacting Bak to send new rails bc he had same issue and they said it shouldn’t do that over the wheel wells.

I will add some foam at some point as mentioned above (thanks for that) and more weather stripping by the bulkhead.

My RetraxPRO MX is extremely water tight. Nothing gets inside except for the gap in the tailgate that I will seal with some rubber gasketing when I get around to it. The only water my bed sees in a heavy downpour is that right at the very end of the tailgate.

I hear ya, but retractable was out of my price range. Figured I’d get through with a trifold for a few years until I can get a cap.

I hear ya and you are correct. I got mine on sale for $1610 and more than I wanted to spend but you do get what you pay for...most of the time They also make a cheaper version that sells for under $1200 but I wanted the Lifetime warranty and liked that it supported 500 pounds so you can walk on the cover without hesitation.

I guess with the 800$ I saved I can buy some waterproof bins to keep my stuff! Haha

I will be installing an access limited sometime this week, I have had 3 other ones, get minor leaks if not installed correctly, I will let you know how it goes for my 19

here is my first pict of my access limited... glad I went with that, got the extra seal and a battery led light for the back with it... will get more when its nicer out, starting to warm up after the bomb cyclone a couple days ago...
