    Going to be installing the MX4 soon. If I understand correctly from the video you don’t need the seal on the front of the bed for installation?

    If you are talking about the weather stripping you do not use it.

    The one at the front of the bed by the cab correct, that spans the width of the bed?

    yep do not use it... the paper directions included were not direct with this. I installed it and it's obvious when you actually put the MX4 on it won't work. Hope this helps.

    I would suggest on getting some thin weather stripping like this, and running it on the edge of the bedside plastic before putting the bakflip on. Mine leaked on both sides and this completely got rid of it.

    That's a great idea! I want to do this to mine as it's leaking more than I would like..
    Did you line any of this on the head of the bed at all or just the side rails?

    Anybody getting snow/water through the tailgate ends? Specifically where the corner of the mx-4 meets the tailgate?
