Routing Drain Tubes for Gator EFX hard folding tonneau cover

[BobSacomano]

My Tonneausport cover blew up like a balloon in the dryer at the car wash this summer so I'm gonna be installing a Gator EFX hard folding tonneau cover soon.

Are the drain holes for the drain tubing these holes at the front of the box?

In case anybody comes along later with this same question, I did a little research and answered my own question.

Both holes in the bed sidewall at the front of the box are for the front stake pocket and both drain directly out onto the ground. See photo, arrows 1 and 2.



The plastic cap in the hole indicated by arrow 3 was kinda tight on my truck and I didn't wanna risk breaking it, so I did not remove it. The little rubber cap in hole 2 came right out easily.

I tested the drainage of holes 1 and 2 and they both drained to the same place.



So I chose hole 2 as the place to run my tonneau cover drain tubes. Hole 1 would work fine, too, but taking potential rust into account, no sense having the water drain all the way down the inside of that panel when I can just run the tube down to hole 2.

I know - a bit late....but yes those are the drain holes that tonneau's drain into. I have a bakflip and they provide two short tubes that route into those holes.

That's where I ran the drains
