Default Problem with My Tekstyle Profile Tonneau Cover

Does anyone else have the Tekstyle Profile tonneau cover? I'm having a weathersealing problem with mine. I had it installed by my local Line-X dealer a couple of weeks back and one thing they told is me because the Dodge tailgate has a slight bit on arc to it at the top, that the cover doesn't seal against the tailgate completely. There is a small section on each extreme side of the cover that is lifted up almost 1/8" of an inch. I let it go to see if it would settle at all and it hasn't. Last night it poured buckets all night, this morning I look inside my bed, and water (not much) did make it's way in. The sides and the front of the cover are sealed very well but at the tailgate, another story. I emailed Design Automotive Group (they own Tekstyle) about my problem and all they told me was sounded like the cover was installed too far forward and to move it back. I can't see how that would fix my problem as the majority of the tailgate depth is covered by the tonneau and I fear if I do move it back, it won't seal right up forward. It's the shape of the tailgate, I can see that myself. Anyone else experience this with this cover or any other brand? Is there a fix, maybe more weatherstripping? I love the cover other than this problem. Also, my Line-X spray in liner is over the rails and tailgate if that makes any difference.

Anybody? Maybe a similar problem with any brand soft tonneau that goes over the rails? Help!
