2024 ranger bed cap

[spike37]

Does anyone have a solution to leaking stake pads on beds. Looking for tonneau cover, but the ones i am checking do not cover leaking inserts. Water will leak into bed. Sellers don’t seem to have a solution. I was going to cover existing pad inserts with duct tape before installing a bed cover. I see someone has taken off bed covers and used tape under inserts, but water will still go into the bed.

Main reason why I got my Bison cover, sits on top and covers 3/4 of the hole so no leaking. Now the tailgate area leaks but I don't carry anything that needs to be water proof just weeds and branches and crap.

Hey there - welcome! If you search around, there's posts with people's solutions in the forum regarding sealing up the bed. You can remove the trim pieces and seal. Run a neutral curing silicone around the trim pieces and stake bed pockets. I'm going to seal with silicone, and the tonneau I'm installing covers the stake bed pockets. There's some videos on You Tube with solutions as well, here's one. Good luck!

Hi. Your video re leaking bed rails. Excellent video. One thing I noticed before you inserted one of the inserts on the plastic rail cover with silicone. Looks like silicone was put under the rail cover. Won’t water still enter into rail cover? Will it’s still enter under these six inserts? If so where will water end up? thanks.

Hey there - it wasn't my video, just found it on you tube. Yes, the 6 stake pockets would likely still leak. I thought he should have siliconed around the top of the stake pockets as well.

Before y’all silicone your rails be careful on type. Stay away from acidic since it eats the metal away
I never knew this till the 4Runner boys roofs started falling apart from sealing roof racks

I just came across these pictures of a Ranger Raptor that has rail caps WITHOUT stake pockets. I believe the truck is from Bahrain.

Anyone know how to source these??
