You have hinges that connect each panel together and Ive never heard of a weatherproof hinge. Where the panels meet and are separated by hinges, how do you prevent water from getting into the truck bed?
A. I have never heard of weatherproof hinge either! However, the way we prevent a potential leak at these points is by keeping water from ever getting to the hinge in the first place. We accomplish this by bridging each panel with a very neatly placed, high quality, flexible rubber strip that is permanently glue-welded to each panels edge to bridge each gap between connecting panels. These strips are about one inch wide, are in a matching matte black color, and they run the entire width of the hinged panels. This rubber strip channels water away from the small gap between two panels, keeping the hinges (and the truck bed) high and dry. This strip also gives and stretches when folded to ensure that this area remains water resistant.
