I currently have a Tonno Pro Lo Roll which is a soft vinyl that rolls up and lets you use the complete bed. I got it cheap when I originally leased my truck, but now that I bought it, I am looking for something that is slightly better quality wise/water proof. I like the idea of the vinyl roll up since when it's rolled up, it takes away almost none of the bed space. However it does leak water into the bed when it rains. Let me know what you guys use for bed covers that are completely waterproof and high quality.

I've had the TruXedo TruXport soft roll up cover for about a year and no problems with water getting in at all.

The ones that are actually "waterproof" are the fiberglass tonneau covers, but if you use your bed for hauling stuff they would not be a good choice for you.

I have a Extang Trifecta E-Max that I have had for two years. This cover has an aluminum frame with soft cover and will fold out of the way for full bed use. Or you can remove it without tools if you need it out of the way. Installation time about 15 to 30 minutes to mount brackets on side rails of the truck bed.
I purchased it fromTonneauCoversWorld.com
with free shipping.
This is my second Extang cover as I had one on my 01 Dakota 4x4. I sold it to a coworker for his Dakota after I traded mine in for my 16 Ram CC 4x4. It's still looks great and works great for him

My cover does a pretty good job of keeping things dry, but water and dust still get in via the tailgate and around the tie down rings. I have a rollnlock.

Yeah, Pull Ya is right, The ones that are actually "waterproof" are the fiberglass tonneau covers,
If you use your bed for hauling stuff, you can have a try of OEDRO soft tonneau cover.

Ive got a trifold Tyger cover on mine. While not 100% waterproof, its darn near. The only time water gets in is during a large downpour, and its only at the front of the bed. Never enough to soak anything though.....just a little bit running down at the very front. I went to TN last year hauling a bike in my trailer and had my luggage in the bed.....I even wrapped everything in garbage bags to add another layer of protection. Got into some horrible storms in WV, both ways, but not once did anything get wet. I would never put a hard cover on mine as I like the flexibility that the trifold offers. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Thanks for the input guys. I know most aren't 100% waterproof so I take back saying the word waterproof. The current cover I have leaks quite a bit up front, enough that the water sat under my bed rug and lifted my spray in bed liner in one little spot. Maybe I will try a trifold.

My wife bought be a tri-fold cover from Rough Country. Not sure who actually makes it, but it is not a 'flush' type, it does sit on the rails. It's been water tight for me and I love it.

Same cover, its awesome and pretty inexpensive. I only get some small drips after hitting an auto carwash. Cant beat this cover for the $$

I have a trifold from rough country and no leaks no nothing. I've had it for almost a year and a half. Goes through the car wash fine. Drove to Maine with it and no issues. Just gotta take the time to get everything lined up and it will do great for 249 bucks.

The MOPAR trifold works pretty well too. I made a deal to get mine with the truck but have been very happy with it so far.

Also gives you some security for anything you may have in the box over a vinyl cover.

Where are your waters leaks at? If it's at the rear, it may not be the Tonneau. A tailgate seal will help for leaks around the tailgate.

At the front of the bed, by the cab. Not even enough to puddle the water....I can just see a few drips running down.

Has anyone tried/used the OEDRO tonneau covers or any of their other products?
I’m thinking about it. $179 ain’t a bad price for a 6.5 bed LLW ta boot not bad. 5 stars on 8 reviews?

It rained all night so here's how dry my rollnlock keeps things.looks like I have to add some weatherstrip or make an adjustment on the weatherstrip on the front right, but not bad.15555271340183412638944008592891.jpg 15555271695157225872122591854088.jpg
