Tonneau Covers

I had a Diamondback HD on a Tundra in the past. Excellent build quality and customer service, but the Tundra was not a good host for it. The bedrail caps are poorly supported due to the design, so the pressure of the cover causes them to deform and water easily intrudes at the front corners underneath the bedrail caps. Also, if you park on an incline, rain gets funneled in at the weather stripping where the hinged panels meet the center support due to the angle of the weather stripping and the incline of the hill you’re parking on. Both of these issues may not be an issue with a super duty, though.

It’s a beast of a cover, and besides being cumbersome to remove if you need full bed access, it’s a great product.
 
Very interesting they are all Real Truck brands :unsure:. FTW, Diamondback, still not a Real Truck brand.
It was an article that popped up on my Google feed, thought I post it. Each one has their own pros and cons. I've spent enough on diamonds so there's goes the Diamondback idea. Just like my regular bed, I need easy access often 🤪.
 
@Pizzaguy Here's some pics I took of doing the mod in addition to a video showing that the cover can indeed be closed first before closing the tailgate! Love it :D

Went to do this mod this afternoon and if I flip the seal, I would have to trim it in order for it to fit? Did you have to do this?
 
I did not.
Maybe they changed the seal design. There is a ribbed portion that is shorter that slides through the channel on mine.
 
This shows the seal somewhat. I didn’t get any pictures while I had it apart.

You need to pop the cover off and you can slide the seal out and flip it over. Pics in post #183 show how I did it.

I will give it a go again maybe tomorrow. That little black tab is somewhat of a pain to get back in the groove! Appreciate your help!
