Roll up tonneau cover Drain Tubes keep falling out

Feel free to PM me or email me! I'd be happy to help get this sorted out for you.

Thank you! I'm going to try what @SilverPigeon said first to see if that works.

I'm gonna do the same this weekend. I had sort of given up on ever having them remain in the holes. I'll crawl around and see if I can get it fixed as well.

Really appreciate this thread!.

@Kidder, @HollowMan, let us know how you get on ?

I tried that - many times when I installed the cover. No such click ever occurred, nor did it have the feeling of screwing in in any way. I even tried it without the rubber grommet, but no dice.

This is what happens to me. The drain tubes just flat out don’t stay in the box. I can remove the rubber grommet and push the tubes into the box. They fall right out. They seem too small for the hole in the box; they don’t stay in at all. I will reach out as Paul did and hope for the same fix.

The new tubes that RealTruck sent me seem to stay firmly in place, but I’ve never succeeded in getting the mythical ‘two clicks’.

Looks like I am out of luck. Apparently since my cover was installed at the factory, I have to go through my dealer for a warranty claim. My dealer has been a pain in my backside in the past trying to get them to service these sort of "third party" truck options, so I'm not optimistic that this will get fixed. The next time I'm in there I will ask, but until then the water in the box will just continue to drain into my bed.
