Default Century Tonneau cover

I just got a century tonneau cover installed on my 2008 Laramie 4 door and it looks very nice. The quality, fit and finish of this product is top notch. I really like the looks and of course the versatility of it. It rides quieter on the road and less wind noise is a plus. I really am going to enjoy this product. I will include some pics when i get tthem on here. It was an absolute perfect colormatch.

I want to see pics! My sister has an 08 Chevrolet Colorado and the A.R.E. tonneau that she got seems to have a green tint to it, and she has a black truck. I'm not sure how it ended up like that when she took in the paint code...weird. But yea, get some pics up! I wanna see!

Does anyone have a hard bed cover that doesn't leak? I had an Undercover on my '02. LOVED it, but it leaked a little at the front hinges/corners. The truck also had a bedliner.
When I bought this '05, I had the dealer install the factory matched fiberglass cover. It leaks BAD at the front during rain showers. Another Dodge dealer I visited suggested cutting off the rollover front lip on my bedliner and reinstalling the cover. I did that and if anything the leaking got worse. The rubber strips on both covers has a break between the side strips and the front strip. I think that is the leaking area.

The adjustable rails had to come out and they are for sale now. They are not much use with the cover in place anyways. I also had to remove the tailgate endcap so the cover wraps over the back of it.
