Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the factory tonneau gor a 2019 Ram? It is only held on by two front clamps and the two rear. NY cover is fairly loose fitting and leaks a bit in the tailgate area. Is there a way to tighten it down so it seals better and is more secure?

You can slide the front clamps a bit to the raised area under the bed rails, the front is easy with out too work by unscrewing the bolt in the center of the clamp mounting area, but the rear you have to disassemble the back area of tonneau cover to slide the clamps towards the tailgate, its a bit involved and made it a little better. Good luck!

At the risk of sounding stupid I'm not really sure I understand what exactly you mean about adjusting the clamps. Would you be able to be more specific? Any help is greatly appreciated.

The clamps are the things that hold the tonneau cover to the bed rails, if you have the OEM tri-fold cover you should have four clamps, they have yellow rubber pads, two in the front of the box and two at the rear, they can slide fwds and backwards if loosened, the rear clamps sit ahead of the last cross brace. So you have to disassemble the rear section to slide it back to the absolute furthest back area of the bed rails, hope that helps
