22 21 Check to see that cover panel latches make proper contact with side rails. Sometimes, your side seals of your BakFlip cover will appear to be wrinkled shortly after initially installing the cover. To assist seals in laying flat you can leave your truck in the sun, or to expedite, just apply heat with a hair dryer or heat gun. See this video for a good look at how it’s done.
