Jeep Gladiator tonneau Cover started lifting at sides when on highway IMG_1081
@JeepCares

I have an appointment next week to get my JTR state inspection done at local dealership (bought of out state). I requested they look at my factory tonneau as the material is saggy between the bows and lifts at 35 mph+. flaps in the wind like crazy, you can hear it when back window is out. I will update after appt.

My factory cover does the same thing. Hope it is an easy fix.

The soft cover on my Rubicon looks the same as the photos above, please post resolution
If you find it. Taking it in next week for service, I am asking my service manager to check it out also. Also watching for possible solutions.

I believe some have had their covers replaced. I'm guessing it will just stretch and do the same thing. My cover looks exactly like the ones above as well.

I've got just over 1k miles on my JT, with 700 of it on the highway. It lifts slightly at high speed. I don't know why anyone considers this a problem however. No water has entered, and it doesn't flap around, just a constantly lifted lip. Seems perfectly fine to me.

Anybody have an update on this??? Looks like mines starting to do the same, pooling water pretty bad too during rainy days (which It never did before)

I noticed that you can now get a hard cover with the dual top option, mine soft cover is getting loose also, I would rather have the hard cover.

Mine not only lifts, but the side edge "straightens out" where it is suppose to round over a little. Anyone else getting this? The first picture is how it looks when I straighten it out. The second is what it looks like after I drive. It lets water in like you wouldn't believe after this occurs if I don't get out and try and get it back to it's original position. Both pictures are taken while the vehicle is in park (I'm sure someone was going to ask ). Anyone else experiencing this?

Just installed this one by undercover flex at 400 miles on it. Will see how it holds up to rain and wind.
