Question for BAK Revolver X2/X4 owners
I have had the Ford branded version of the Revolver X2 on my truck for a while now actually, and I just never really concerned myself with the little issue I have with it. I figured I would go ahead now and ask about it here. I was wondering, if you have a Revolver X2 or X4 on your truck, does the cover extend at all over the top of the tailgate when it is closed? My cover ends flush to the inside edge of the tailgate and it does not seem to make any sort of seal whatsoever. In fact, any time it rains or I wash the truck, the bed gets soaking wet inside as if I have no cover on it at all. I know the cover will not be 100% waterproof, and I expected to see SOME water inside the bed, but so much water gets in from the seal along the tailgate that I would not dare put luggage or anything in there or it would end up all wet. I have tried to adjust the cover by loosening the bolts up by the cab and sliding the cover back, but once I get it to where I feel like it should be, then it looks to be too far back at the head of the bed just behind the cab. Its almost like the cover is about a 1/4-1/2 inch too short or something. Also, when I drive, I can see in my rear view mirror that the center of the cover bounces around like its a full on soft cover. I basically just wanted to know from others with this cover if the cover is supposed to end flush with the inside edge of the tailgate or if it should slightly overhang the top of the tailgate.

Here are pics of mine. The cover is obviously crooked, but that is likely from me messing it up while trying to adjust it the other day... But as you can see at the far end, even when it is straight, it doesn't overlap the tailgate like yours. Also I notice the rail on mine does not sit over the tailgate either like yours does.

are you sure this is installed correctly? you're missing the rubber that goes between the tail gate and the cover that seals it.. also it looks like your right side long piece is sticking out too far that's preventing the tailgate from closing fully.. seems there is a slight gap.. that's why it looks crooked
