Did anyone notice gaps after installing the mx4? I feel the weather strip was warped in the front and the rubber strip at the front might be a little short. Does anyone have pics? Does yours look like mine? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Looks good! That's how mine looks on my Raptor. Where it meets the tailgate is more important but I did add an extra strip of foam on the back for waterproofing.

That’s a good idea, I’ll do the same. I do see gaps on the sides which concern me. The black weather strip on the sides aren’t completely flat. Do they settle down after a while?
 
I had a few bumps on the rubber side strips but flattened out after being in the sun, could try a blow dryer/heat gun. Other than that it sits pretty flush 🤷🏻‍♂️ Double check your side rails, you may need to tweak it a bit to achieve the best fit.

I have replaced the foam weather strip with the one below and also put it on the tailgate where it touches the cover. I have went through car wash at least 5 times and it was mostly waterproof. Only wet spot was from the side of the tailgate which I am going to add a thicker seal soon.

Ty! I noticed the gap between side of tailgate also. Please post pics if you can! Does your bed have this opening on the bottom left side of cap?

Did you check your bed for square? I noticed when doing my topper this weekend that mine is whacky and sits about an inch further from cab on passenger side than driverside. Had issues with topper and thought my rails were out of square but no.

I did. It’s pretty square.
 
Has anyone transferred theirs from a raptor?
