I put on a real trucks/BAK X4TS today. I didn’t test out the water intrusion yet but it seems like the tailgate will let a some water in. There are a lot of gaps. Has anyone put a tailgate seal on yet? Any issues with the electronic closing? What did you go with?

Can you post some pics of it on the truck? Front, sides, back. Was considering the same model for my RHO. How do you like it? Thanks

I just put the same cover on mine as well. Seems like they made the cover about a half inch too short? If put it all the way against the tailgate, I think the bulkhead seal will leak. I ordered extra weather stripping from amazon. If it leaks too much I may return it and get a Retrax Pro XR

I have the Line-X equivalent of the Bakflip MX-4.
Noticed after some off-roading this weekend (very dusty roads), the bed is full of dust/dirt. Seems to be coming from the bottom of the tailgate. My tailgate seems to have some play when closed, like it’s missing a weatherstrip.
Any ideas, or is this normal?

It's normal. You'll probably want to add a seal around the tailgate. Among many other manufacturers, Diamondback has an option: https://diamondbackcovers.com/products/tailgate-seal?variant=41068238110819
