The cover looks very much and acts in like that of a “Roll Top” desk. What is between these “aluminum slats” (that make up the cover) that keeps water out?
The slats are designed to seal under each other. This “Opposing Slat” design in the cover quickly channels water to side rails. This design collects any and all water that might penetrate the top surface (which is normally very very little) and quickly funnels any water to the side tracks. The water then quickly travels down channels located on each side track straight into the to the ABS Canister housing. From there, the water is quickly expelled out of the bottom of the truck through the drain hose.
