Why are my tonneau covers sticking to my truck?
The most common tonneau cover problems originate from damage, wrong fitting, wearing out due to age, frequent use for prolonged periods, and using the incorrect size for your vehicle. These problems often result in the leaking, flipping and sometimes the cover may stick to the truck bed.
Why does my tonneau cover leak when I wash it?
Another cause of tonneau leakages is pressurized water that penetrates between the edges of the covers while the vehicle is being washed. To prevent your tonneau cover from leaking, you should use a tailgate cover seal that covers both the gap along the bottom and both sides of the tailgate.
