I have had two of these things. I should have known better since my first BakFlip leaked, but this new and improved MX4 leaks too. Wtf?!? What's the point of a tonneau cover if it's going to leak? POS BakFlip, I'm done with this junk. Do the Retrax leak? Is there any hope for a low profile cover that doesn't leak?

Getting a full size single piece hard tonneau cover is the only way to ensure no leaks with a tailgate seal.
Retrax is better but most covers do leak, just some more than others.
I have a Truxedo LoPro and it leaks in the two corners and by the tailgate (I don’t have a seal) but I’ve never had a cover that didn’t leak some (have had multiple brands) and just deal with it. We would put our suitcases in plastic bags as our solution for the family when on vacations.
Sometimes just come up with solutions than whining about things, life will be easier to deal with.

My Retrax MX Pro hasn't leaked one drop yet... we haven't had rain since I've put it on but I've power washed the truck trying to get it to leak, bone dry. I think half the battle is a proper install too.

I have the retax pro (the metal one), I haven't noticed any water in mine. Have had it since 14. It's been in snow and good ol Texas thunderstorms. The only thing I did was the weather stripping stated coming out so I cut it back then used black caulking to seal the edges up.

My MX4 hasn't leaked a drop and we had 5 inches of rain last week. Are you sure it is installed correctly and the drain hoses are in place to drain water out of the rails?

That is really odd, mine has not leaked, nor did my Bakflip Rollx or Bakflip F1 across all 3 Raptors. Are you buying directly from BAK?

Bakflip F1, pretty much the same as the MX4, no leaks

My F1 leaked along the fold joints after about 4 years. I went with the Revolver X2 this time because it has a seemless vinyl top.
