A. It is weather proof! No tonneau cover is waterproof. We use a rubber seal which is weather tight. You can get water into the bed of your Ute if you use a high pressure washer or hose and angle it to force the water directly up into the bottom of the lid. However, it is possible to get water into any lid. We state that our tonneau cover is weather proof. If it is raining, it will not leak water into it, if it is properly installed.
