Tonneau Cover Drainage Question

[dangerranger16]

I have a Pace Edwards Switchblade that works and looks very nice. One thing I’m curious of is water drainage. Like some other tonneau covers, it comes with drainage tubes that are supposed to go down to the bed, in which the standard install procedure shows the drainage tubes just draining into the bed on top of the liner. If I drain through the tie down access points on my plastic liner, the water seems to be ending up between the metal bed and plastic liner, which I’m not a fan of. I am wanting to know if there is some kind of access hole these drains can go through so water doesn’t end up underneath the liner. I’m hoping there’s an easy way (aka no cutting) to get those drainage tubes through so water just drains underneath the truck. Anyone have information on such access?

I'm sure there are drain holes in the front of the bed. They're more like slots between the bed floor and fwd bulkhead. I doubt you'll see them with the plastic liner installed. You can crawl underneath and look..

I used the two holes in the front upper corners of the bed. You won’t be able to see them unless you look behind your bed liner. If you mark where they are you could just drill your liner and you wouldn’t have to cut or drill any part of your bed.

Ditto. I can't see mine unless I look for them. I used the "top" hole for my Bakflip G2.

I used the bottom ones with my Ultra Flex. The top ones didn’t seem low enough to drain the water from the barbs on my cover.
