tonneau leaks

[Bill Liebbe]

My tonneau cover leaks water on the edges by where it folds.



Is this normal?

It happens... I used clear silicone caulking to seal the crack on the folding edge and it stopped the leaking...

I could have sworn I saw a project on this that had to do with popping the rivets, siliconing the seams, and using nuts and bolts to put it back together.

well I called my dealer since I still have about a year warranty,



We'll see what they do about it.





Thanks for the reply.





Nice to find this forum

I did that and still was leaking... but I think it was a post, not a project....

If you search for Leak and Tonneau you should find a lot of posts...

Bill,



Your dealer will probably tell you that they are not waterproof... But they should be.

You can drill out the center rivets, apply silicone to the rubber stripping along the center hinge, and put the cover back together using nuts & bolts, cutting off the bolt ends with a Dremel. Takes a few hours.

I agree, about a couple hours work and you can make it water proof.
