Bed Rack + Tonneau Cover

[Rebel12]

Coming back to old thread, I think I am going to upgrade from amazon soft cover that sucks to a Diamondback.

Tailgate issues- did they go away? Can you open and close the tailgate now you have worn it in, is the cover too tight in the back? Another poster says their automatic tailgate works- I know it's all about how tight you position the levers but want to know if you sacrifice water getting in to have that luxury.

I can open and close the tailgate manually if I want without lifting the Diamondback panel, but I usually open the rear DB panel first before opening or closing the tailgate. I don’t think the tailgate could open and close itself with the rear panel closed……Not a deal breaker for me, I love the DB cover. It’s well built, looks great and doesn’t leak.
