ESI Ultimate Tailgate Seal for GMC MutliPro & Chevrolet Multi-Flex Tailgates amzn.to/49Y3SsZ Support the channel with the above affiliate link. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Thank you!
Never had an issue with my 24’ 2500 letting water come in from the tailgate side. I have the same cover but have leaks at the front passenger side when it rains.
I have the same tonneau cover as you. I own a 2023 GMC 2500 AT4. I ran into the same issue of water entry down the inside of the tailgate. I decided that the seal on the tonneau was not pressing against the tailgate hard enough. What I did was use the extra smaller seal (red) that comes with the tonneau and apply right on the rubber seal that supposed to contact the tailgate. The result was that the extra pressure from the “double” seal stopped any water intrusion under normal rainy conditions. I then ran it through a touch less car wash and found only a few dribbles of water going down the inside of the tailgate. Hope this helps!
After installing a Diamondback Alum cover on my 2024 Chev 1500 with the same tailgate I realized that there was zero weatherstripping and my box filled with dust when travelling on gravelled roads. Basically the box was useless for hauling anything as it ended up covered with a thick layer of dust.. I had the same cover on a 2013 Ford F250 and never had this problem. Ended up installing the ESI ultimate tailgate seal kit and it has eliminated 95% of the dust.
Thanks for this video. I have purchased this seal kit from Amazon. I have a 2024 Silverado w/Multi Flex Tailgate. I will install per your recommendations and leave off the little seal pieces and the bottom seal.
the bottom seal is just holding water in once it leaks, if it does get in you want it to escape or give it a chance too.....bottom seal prevents that a bit if its raining and your parked, slope your truck where the water will drain out the back...if driving nothing you can do thinking of trading my 23 in for specific purpose of that tailgate, I loved it when I had it in a 1500 and in my 2500 it would be even more so

Install the seal. It's not 100% but it's like 95% better
I had a terrible time with my Bak Revolver cover leaking badly across the tailgate end. I gave up and put on a camper shell.
Sorry to hear that
Great videos. I need to find out what pad you have on bed. Looks perfectly cut
Thank you. I like the bedrug...especially for kneeling. Here is the model I bought on my truck (it is 6-9 bed): amzn.to/4cn8aL1

Great point, thank you for the comment
Info on the hook in the bed of the truck? Looks handy
Thank you. Yes, it is super handy. I got it years ago and just checked...they still are selling/making it:

@@AdventureRocks Thanks!
I have a newer Silverado with a cover but without the multipro tailgate and it stays really dry back there.
Great point. Thank you for sharing.
Nice. Where did you get that carpet for your bed?
Yes, here is the one I have:

I never take my truck out of the garage if its' raining.
Must be nice!
But what you didn't say is, do you for example live in the desert where it rarely rains ?
