Default Guys with tonneau covers and factory bedliners?

Im looking into gettin an extang full-tilt tonneau for my 07 ram. The only thing i've noticed on the front where the factory bed liner goes over top of the box on the front.

I was wondering if any of you guys had issues with the mounting of it and if it would leak.

thx

cut it off. Only under the rail bedliners will work.

x2, I don't have mine cut off and it does leak just a bit but nothing really just a few drips sometimes, if you cut it off i'm sure you won't leak.

I have the factory liner with the piece that goes over the rail by the cab with a tonneau and it doesn't leak. It came with a piece of weather stripping type material at the cab end to seal it up nice. But if you can't get it to seal, just cut the over the rail part off.

Mine is just fine with the bed liner and no leaks. Just use weather stripping on all three sides and double up the sides to the bed liner lip.

Put a regular Extang tonneau on my truck and went right over the top of the factory bedliner. No issues and no leaks.
