Water has to defy gravity and and come upward to come get past the skirted edges of the tonneau cover. An “L” shaped seal wraps the side and rear perimeters of the lid under the skirt of the tonneau cover to block water that might make it past the fiberglass skirting. In the case that the other to protective layers still allow some seepage there is an “L” shaped gutter system that runs the front and side perimeters of the tonneau cover that will direct the water toward the rear of the truck.
The security of a Ranch painted fiberglass tonneau cover is one of the most beneficial features when compaired to other types or styles of truck bed covers. The Ranch Legacy offers a 1200lb force tested rotary latch and “D” ring system. These latches are secured into aluminum reinforced blocks that are laminated into place assuring an extremely secure locking system for your truck bed. If security is important to you, the Ranch Legacy has you covered.
