Thinking of getting a retractable tonneau cover that requires holes in my bed to drain the water out. Question, I don't see any holes, it's already blocked by the bedliner, but I do see bigger holes on the side of the bed, can I use that hold as a drain hole? Thanks. Picture included.

That hole is used to mount things like the adjustable cargo rails. The drain holes would be at the bottom of the picture (in that oval). You can use them as drains though, should work just fine. If they didnt then that cavity would fill with water naturally.

That is where I ran my drain tubes. The Undercover tubes fit the hole perfectly.

I didn’t notice those holes when installing mine. This is what I did, seems to work fine.

Nice. So you used the same hole as I circled? Would you mind sharing some pictures?
No I ran mine in the same side hole as Rda2w
I did not want anything in the bed to interfere with the drain hoses.
