What accessory requires this hole? I can see daylight. This is a design flaw.

Maybe not. A lot of the holes in body panels are used for indexing and location jigs during manufacturing and assembly. But it would be nice if they were plugged up, but that would cost ford 25 cents per vehicle and at $100 the sticker.

Great. That’s a design flaw if delivered to the customer without being addressed. Every other pickup bed on the planet seems to get delivered to its end user without racquetball sized holes in them. I’m paying $58-60k for a midsize pickup. I want to be able to seal it up so I don’t have an arctic wind tunnel in my bed during the winter or a jet stream in the summer. Not a lot to ask.

Has anyone found a solution to covering/filling the holes at the front top corners of the bed?

I used flex tape in white to match my truck. Tape applied to external side of bed. Very odd design and seems to have no purpose.

My leer 650 has no tubes and no water issues. They provided all the necessary items to seal areas.

I have the real truck gator Tri fold. I find the leaks come in the stake body covers. I added some gorilla black tape over them and it has helped.
