[Ultra-HOG]

I suspect that there may be some water leakage under harsh conditions such as an automatic car wash or a driving rain when the vehicle is parked. The drain tubes, as it was explained to me by Randy at RETRAX, go through existing rubber access cover plugs in the bed and drain to below the truck. No additional drilling is required. The drain tubes are for water that does not go down the cover and over the tailgate. Water that gets into the tracks runs out the back. Water that gets into the canister goes through the drain tubes. For the most part, I believe that it will be as water tight as possible but not as water tight as the trunk is. I would not put anything in the bed that could not chance getting wet. Please understand that I do not have mine yet and only am stating my opinions at this point. I really don't intend to represent myself as an expert. I certainly am willing to share what I do know, state my opinions and otherwise contribute and help in any way. Randy at RETRAX is really a great guy. I am sure that he will be happy to answer important questions as well. He has the real answers. Since I wash my black truck often, probably too often, I will give it a good test shortly after it is installed.
