| Owners say | Eight owners describe tops at seven years or more, up to about fifteen. Of 26 owners who describe water, 11 call the bed dry and 15 get some, mostly at the bed rails, the seams and the rear flap; three describe real leaks, and seam sealer or extra weather stripping fixed or improved it for five. | Of 21 owners who describe water, 8 report a dry or nearly dry bed, 7 some water and 6 a bad leak, most often at the rear door and tailgate, then at holes cut for hardware, the windows and the front of the cap. Several of the bad leaks ended in new windows or a replacement shell from LEER through the dealer; one 2022 F-150 leak beat two dealers. |
| Our verdict | The topper that folds to the cab in minutes; it does not fully seal, hates hard cold and has no lock. | The paint-matched fiberglass cap we would look at first; how dry it stays depends on the dealer install. |
