Hello, water is leaking into my bed off of my Tuxedo tonneau cover because it pools between the support bars. Do you carry bowed strips to raise these area so the water rolls off? Toyota Tundra 2007 6ft bed. thanks

We do offer replacement support bows for the TruXedo Lo Pro QT Soft Roll-Up Tonneau, like part # TX578101-BOW. These are designed to replace the existing bows that come with this tonneau cover, and they are not designed to be added to a different tonneau cover.

If you do not have the Lo Pro QT, there are a couple other options that may provide a solution to your problem. If the tonneau cover is not tight across the truck bed, and it has a tensioning device, the cover may need to have the tension adjusted.

Additionally, if water is leaking through the cover itself, the cover may need replaced. This can happen as covers age and wear.

If you can let me know which Truxedo Tonneau cover you have, I will be happy to look into more specific solutions for you.
