Anyone with a Bak flip or revolver (or similar) have any issues with the tailgate ruler chewing up the rear seal on the cover? Just curious. Waiting on a BAKFlip MX4 and that ruler is like rasp. Any issues?

I have a Bison 4 it's very similar. No problems . I did use the tailgate seal kit and got and additional seal for the back lip.

If yours is anything like my X4s, you will have nothing to worry about. The seal doesn't really make contact with the tailgate.

Yep -
I have a weather tech cover, the tailgate seal doesn’t touch the ruler, but on top of that there’s a bit of a ledge on the leading edge of the plastic cap that catches the seal.
