Factory Hard Tonneau Cover Hose - What is it??

[N6WT]

I ordered the Mopar tri-fold hard tonneau cover with my Gladiator. I opened the cover to discover 2 black plastic hoses that attach to the front corners of the cover and to the front of the bed of the truck. What are they for???

Those are water drainage hoses that drain the water from the rails when it rains. The holes in the bed were drilled through plastic plugs. It looks like they drilled through the bed, but, they did not, they just drilled through a plastic drain cover that has the sprayed bed liner on it. Here is the mopar part number that they drilled through. Mopar 55359234AC.

So without the hose the water will drain down the channel into the bed??

Yes, if you plug up the hole, the channel will keep filling with water until it overflows into the bed.
