I just put a gator efx hard tonneau cover on. I have a Ford bedliner. This cover has 2 drain tubes at the front 2 corners. I can't find the drain holes ....do I need to take the bedliner out and reinstall? Or so I make my life simple and just plug up and block the drain tubes? Any info can be helpful thanks..

There are two black plastic drain caps in the front of the bed that you will need to drill an appropriate sized hole in and then run the tubes into. I have a slide in bed liner in my truck, so I had to remove the bed liner and drill holes in that too. Getting those to line up was fun, NOT!

Nah. It'll eventually drop water into your bed. If you don't have a bed liner, and you don't want to drill holes in those little plugs, you can just let them hang. The nose of the bed isn't sealed and the water will eventually drain out of there (even though the joint between the front wall of the bed and the bed flor will get clogged up with dirt and debris over time).
