I had a Truxedo cover on my Tacoma and use to always close the tailgate and latch the cover and that truck I did run through car washes and it never leaked. I actually read the directions with this cover and even in the diagrams it shows to latch the cover first,then close the tailgate.
You're right it's much easier taking stuff in/out this way. If you look at the cover it overhangs the top of the tailgate some than the tailgate itself puts pressure against the seal so there's no way any water is going to get through.
Well looks like I've been doing it wrong all these months. I'll admit it's a pain in the ass to close the tailgate first. All though you must have confirmed it. Next time I go to the carwash I'll do it the other way see if any water gets in So far my bed is watertight. I hesitate to mess with it.You have convinced me.
Thanks for the manual lookup.....I prefer that I can open the gate and close it without checking the seal.
