found a leak in the undercover flex tonneau cover and fix it but come on you should not need to do stuff like this when you spend hundreds of dollars on this so 

 

#1 was leaking from the drain tube you easily think it would have been glued or at least a gasket not just plastic on aluminum 4BCB5B52-B9DA-413F-8679-57506AAE4D26_zps6BCA5784-64E8-46B2-A6B4-175F9B1356E3_zps

#2

used some fast acting bond stuff A09FD4CB-0065-4F8E-91E4-9EF0995947D5_zps551519C6-690F-419A-B131-4D8F64746CE1_zps

#3 gasket sealer may not look to pretty but it worked and was a free all stuff was in the workshop at home

#4 few hours after all things are dry reinstall and found out no more leaks

Thoughts on the tonneau coves from Truck Gear by Line X?? 

I have one.  Its the same thing as the Bak mx4 but with a lifetime warranty.  Its a nice cover but it does leak some on the sides.

The MX4 (and Truck Gear) have built-in water channels on the sides, so are you saying you're getting water in the water channels?

Which one do you have, the lxp or the stealth model? Any pictures you mind sharing

I picked up the Lomax tri fold. I have had it for about 8 months and so far I'm impressed.  Keeps the bed dry, and very low profile.  

 

No lock, but have to open tailgate to open cover. Helps with low profile.  Aluminum looks nice, not sure what hail will do, that is coming this year I'm sure. 

 

Only problem is its alittle pricey.

I've had my Bakflip MX4 now for a few months.  I'm not a huge fan of the method for holding the cover open in the flipped up position.  The rods and connecting pieces are too flimsy.  They wouldn't hold mine open at highway speeds, which I feel that it should.  Combined with water getting into the bed, I would look elsewhere.  They look good, but don't function as well.

I don't own a Lomax, but I've seen a dealer display.  Likes:  The finish does look really nice.  Semi-dislikes:  The cover just looks a little odd because it sits above the rails with no side seals.  The aluminum on the bottom side of the panels have no finish, they are bare aluminum.  I wonder if the the little rubber attachments and rubber band thing that are used when securing the open panels will last a while or break prematurely.  None of these things are deal breakers for me, but......

I would let bak know, I have a G2 and it holds up fine at highway speeds and no leaks, they’ll probably send you a new one.

No i get some water in the bed.  Im not sure where its coming from.  I definitely get some by the tailgate.  If it rains i always have water on the sides of the bed.

I had a lock and roll on a 94 Dodge - it came with it. Worked good until one lip got bent a wee bit. Then it was a pain to slid in and out, and that also wore out the seal. Even with that the whole thing weathered rather fast. For as much as they cost I feel the rest of it should have held up better.

 

In 13 I bought a used Access and I have put it on 3 pickups. Just yesterday I called in for a couple replacement buckles, they asked for the SN and sent them out free of charge. They now have a customer for life.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
