I’m assuming no water getting in, right? I’m torn between this and the extang trifecta signature.
I've had no problems with water leaking in.
I purchased the Lomax from Truck Alterations in Waynesville NC. Your neck of the woods somewhat. I've been thru some serious, serious all day rains a couple of times out on the highway and mine just gets a FEW drops in the tailgate area. Nothing to get excited about. It's about as secure as you can get for a bed cover. I knew I didn't want another soft cover. They are well built, easy to install and fit right. IF you have a drop in liner, then you will have to trim the upper outside corners of the liner just a wisker to allow for the tab. It weights about 60LBs, a minute or less and you can take the cover completely out of the bed and out of the way. I'm glad I listened to all the recommendations in this forum and purchased one. Need more information PM me if you want.
When I installed the rails I used a torpedo level off the top of the bed rail to get the height of the support rails even with the bed of the truck. You might consider lowering the support rails just a tiny bit to "tighten" the seal between the bottom of the cover and truck bed rail. Does the seal on the cover have any noticeable flat spots in the area where it is leaking. Are the three panels of the cover laying flat along the bed rails. Are the bed rail covers smooth. If the front is dry, try dropping the rails next to the tailgate a little, but not so much as to interfere with the operation of the tailgate. I had to play with mine a little to find the sweet spot so I can drop the tailgate with the key fob. THAT little feature is one of my favorites that I never realized how handy it is.
Haven't had rain yet with Mopar hard trifold, but I'm happy with it so far. Super easy to install, defacto locks with tailgate up (no wiggle/ ability to shimmy it open), can open and close tailgate with it on and closed fully, very simple and quick to install/uninstall, sits flush to cab with clips and cushion when fully retracted.
Thanks. You installed it yourself then?
Oh for sure. Literally could not be easier. Three clamps on either side to put rails/cleats (whatever you call them) in. Hand place a drainage tube at either side towards cab. Two screws on either clasp to retract to. One sealant strip along bed width at the cab. From there it literally just sits down and self clamps in. All you have to do is adjust the placement so that the weather fins hit correctly at the tailgate. Half hour job or less with no expertise at all.
That's absolutely ridiculous. I can take pictures of manual and send to you if you want to check it out before hand. Hell I can even mail you one since I now have 2 lol.
Thanks, if I decide to get one I will pm you.
My best guess the problem is where the bed rails are wavy and warped in the heat as you say.
Just got my hard tri-fold sent to the dealership for under $800. MOPAR has a website with dealer-specific coupons that they must honor https://www.mopar.com/en-us/savings/coupons/dealer-coupons.html?dealerCode=43664
The Mopar one looks exactly like the BakFlip MX4 to me. I paid $700 installed with bedliner sprayed on the panels of my BakFlip MX4, maybe the Mopar one is something else, just going off of appearance. I also know that individual mileage may vary and prices arent the same everywhere. I also hope you do not get water intrusion!
It hasn't rained yet. Have some in the forecast tomorrow and Friday (of course, I just washed my truck for the first time in 3 weeks last night). I'll keep updated.
