After evaluating all of the covers, I went with the Bakflip G2 because it met my needs the best. I installed it Saturday, and I absolutely love it! We got a ton of rain today...so it was a perfect test for leaks. I ran the plastic hoses from the drains into jars so that I could see how much water was coming through the drains. No water at all. But I am geeting a small amount of water coming in towards the front where the cover mounts against the front of the bed. Any ideas of what I could use to better seal that area? Not a lot of water...so it's not a pressing issue...but would like to prevent any water if possible. Thoughts?

You may want to take a hair dryer or something to the rubber seal at the front where you had to mount those 2 plastic trim pieces. Sometimes from shipping it has a memory and wont relax against those pieces when its brand new. That is where mine leaked at first.
If its leaking along the edge under the window, you may have to loosen the cover bolts, then lean into it so that seal is compressed against the bed, and then tighten it.
Just 2 things you can try.
