Im running the mopar tonneau.
No leakage when you wash or in the rain. Just be careful about tightening
the stop bolts (use loctite once they are adjusted properly) and put some
flat pieces of aluminum or hard wood (I used maple 1"widex3"longx1/4 thick)
load spreaders under the heads of the clamps to prevent dimpling of your
rails. So far the gelcaot looks fine (1 year and 13K miles) BUT my
warranty covers the tonneau paint as well as the truck's so I aint skeerd.

Subject: DML: Mopar Tonneau Questions...

   I was thinkin about puttin a Mopar tonneau cover on my truck. Main
question is What to do underneath, meaning a carpet kit or an under the
rail bedliner? Does water seep through when it's getting washed?
I remember reading something about the gelcoat on the Mopar covers is
known for cracking, happened to anyone? I chose Mopar because I thought
they were made to fit exactly with this truck's specs.
 I would greatly appreciate any info.

Thanks

P.S. I looked through the DML Archives and there were like 8billion
tonneau posts, so I figured it would be easier (quicker) this way.
