We drove down the beach last week, it was a 3 hour trip in the pouring rain and there was no water in the bed. A few drops probably got in but for all intents and purposes it was pretty much bone dry. I really like the tensioning mechanism that locks it closed unless you open the tailgate. Since my tail gate locks it does a good job of hiding and providing some security to items in the bed. The cover rolls up nicely and the straps seem to secure it well; also the velcro does a nice job of holding it down on the sides. Something you can't see in the pictures is that there are two bars attached to the bottom of the cover by velcro straps that provides center support to the cover while it's deployed.
I would definitely recommend this cover to anyone looking. I included a pic of the rails to show how they do intrude about 3/4" into the opening of the bed.

Product.
Folding it up to put oversized stuff in the bed is easy. All you have to do is loosen 2 clips and fold. It has buckles to secure the folded cover to the truck so it doesn't go flapping in the wind. They may look flimsy, but they hold it down completely, even at highway speeds.
It's still holding up almost a year later. They don't claim it's waterproof, but it keeps the stuff inside the bed pretty dry - just don't put stuff in the corners because it seems like that's the only place water really gets in.
Note: This thing seems to love to attract pollen. It sticks to it like a film. You'll need to give it a good wash/scrub if you want it to come off. Nothing a carwash won't fix.
Overall, solid product for the price.
Now if I take a pressure washer and stand and spray some of the corners, a little bit of water will leak into the bed at the edges. But it’s not enough to make me worry that my stuff will be wet. In my experience, I have not had rain water leak into the bed while driving or sitting still.
Onto the install, I had no experience putting one of these covers onto a truck before. I would say it probably took my brother and I longer to install than it should have. The instruction are not the best so I opted to use their YouTube video or a video here on Amazon (can’t remember) for a how to install. The hardest part is connecting/sliding the cover into the metal frame connected at the front of the bed. We finally got it slid into the grove only to find out we had the cover upside down. Other than that it’s not hard to install if you follow the how to video.
I’m sure if you took the time and got the angles almost perfect the cover would be water tight against anything.
Mine has been through about 20,000 miles and the elements and still works as intended. I have had no issues at any speed (including the factory set speed limit) incase anyone is wondering about that.
I will say if you do not intend to carry anything like a 4 wheeler or anything that takes the whole bed of the truck and is taller than the cover, I would suggest getting a hard cover that is foldable. This is because it is tedious to roll and unroll the cover multiple times in a day. Other than that, this cover is perfect.

Overall really happy with this purchase.
Update: first winter with this thing. Had a good six inches of snow on it and no issues. It held the weight and was easy to wipe off. This cover is great!

The installation was relatively easy. I took my time and enjoyed doing it carefully, so it took about an hour.
A couple of notes about fitment, and one dislike I'd like to make note of. First, my truck is equipped with a dealer installed Ford drop in plastic bedliner. The side rails are too long to install without some modification. I ended up removing the two little foam rubber seals from the rear ends of the side rails, as shown in picture #3. They just peel out. With those removed, the side rails fit fine and the tailgate closes without problem. I tried leaving them on and slamming the tailgate, as another reviewer suggested, but it wouldn't latch. The rubber flap across the rear tonneau crossbar actually lays down over this area and it should seal fine.
The clamps are flimsy and poorly designed. VERY fiddly to keep them lined up straight and tighten the fasteners at the same time. They should be designed to interlock at the bottom edge, as the clamps on more expensive tonneau kits do. I will be making some small aluminum spacers to fit in the bottom and hold the clamp spacing out, to allow even clamping force with the fasteners.
I've driven over 100 kms since installing it on the truck, much of that close to highway speeds. Nothing but a slight rippling/drumming noticed, and no flapping noises. I anticipate good service and longevity from the cover once I get the slight improvements made to the clamps. Would recommend purchasing, but only by folks capable of thinking outside the box for the small fixes.
