Leer Tonneau DON"T BUY

[TremorOwner]

I've always ended up with TruXedo covers. Like them.

The thing is getting close to the truck as possible to cover a majority and the other issue is the strip isn’t made to go into the side divots that is in the bed, you’ll need to either fill those or live with them.

see below the holes I’m talking about.

I get vinyl roll-up tonneaus because I often need the whole bed open on my trucks.
I had an Extang Tuff Tonno on my old Sport Trac that I liked a lot but they don't make one for new Rangers.
At first I got a Trail FX tonneau from a local shop but returned that POS in a few hours. Instructions sucked and the mounting hardware was terrible. I'm pretty handy with tools and I've built a lot of stuff and once I figured out the directions I was like, I can see this sh!t ain't gonna hold up.
Based on recommendations here I ordered a Truxedo TruxSport directly from Truxedo. The vinyl cover looks identical to the Trail FX but the mounting hardware is vastly better.
Still liked my old Extang the best of all the tonneaus I've had.

The picture you are displaying is not a leer SR250 cover.

This is the Leer SR250 if you try to move the cover more forward it will expose the back of the bed

Yes to some degree that is true, this is sadly more then a leak. Bought new bulk head seal will wait for some rain sealed back up tighter also.

I don't have a Leer, but, on my Gator it wants the seal installed flush to the back of the bulkhead, meaning farthest away from the cab. I don't think you want it so close to the cab. But, yes, the seal looks too short.

I did fill those gaps with the new bulkhead seal, also ran a seal under back of tonneau rail that sits across the tailgate

Yeah i just Followed the YouTube guide from the company i bought It from and have had zero issues, maybe they’ve worked through the issues on a ton of customer complaints and just found this to be best solution. ?‍?‍
but there is always a solution to make a cheap cover work ? can’t complain when i paid 200$ for it.

Just a heads up I bought a Leer Tonneau for the ranger, it was 250 shipped from leer so it was very reasonably priced. That being said, I would avoid buying this top or anything from Leer if you want a company that answer's emails or addresses problems. Bottom line is the bulk head seal is too short and allows quite a bit of water into the bed. I have emailed them several times and they never respond so you know you a sh*t out of luck if you need warranty work. That being said I have a Extang tonneau on the one ton and that company answers right up and sends out replacement parts fast. This was on me for trying to save some money but I thought I would just pass on the info. Yes I can correct the issue with more foam around the bulk head but the hey the company should acknowledge an issue with something they are selling.

I bought a bakflip foldable cover and couldn't be happier

I wish I would have joined this forum and seen this before I bought mine. I have the exact same issue. The rails are about 2" too short and won't allow the front and back to sit on TOP of the front bed wall and the rear tailgate simultaneously. Also there is NO seal at all on the rear, only a small piece of vinyl flap. I am returning mine but am anticipating an issue with the vendor and Amazon as he is being real cagey.
