No pictures but it rained today and it is taking in water at the front of the bed.  Just dripping down but it bothers me.  I didn't like the weather stripping that goes there in the first place.  It was the only part of the install that confused me.  The instructions are terrible.  Just awful.  Lots of rain the next two days.

Mike, my Access Loreado leaks a little at the corners it's not much but you're right it is annoying.

This isn't in the corners.  Its across the entire front of the box.  Multiple spots.  I don't think its sealing right.  It could be the bed liners rough texture or just that its not positioned right or something.  I don't think I applied enough pressure to the adhesive when I applied it either.

There should be a flap of material that sits on the bulk that acts as a drip cap. Here are couple pics of what mine looks like.

On mine there is rubber weather stripping.  It is in the shape of an L.  It runs across the front of the box like in your picture.  And then the vinyl flap gets folded under.  I have to look at it.  I think its that weather stripping.  I wasn't thinking about it when I set the vinyl top down to be bolted so it might not be seated right or maybe the strip isn't positioned right in the first place.  The directions were very unclear.  It took me about an hour and a half but if I had to do it again... probably 15-20 minutes.

Mine leaked pretty bad until I put the flap on top of the bulk head like I have it in my second picture now all I get are drips from the corners.

Hmm.  Interesting.  I know the directions clearly state to tuck it under (about the only clear part) but I may try that.

Mine was the same way.
