When I get mine, I plan to run the drain hoses through the oval plastic cap with the small dimple on it, you can see in your picture. Start by drilling a small hole in that dimple and make it bigger until your hose fits nicely. It will properly drain from there and won’t cause any rust or damage to your paint as it‘s just a plastic cover behind your bed liner.Well, I ordered the Gator EFX hard cover as well. Came much sooner than expected, but man there is something to be desired with how they package and ship this thing.
But even thought the box was beat up, I don't think it really explains how the cover ended up with this golf ball sized dent right in the middle panel.
Thankfully that is only on one side and doesn't show through. So when the cover is closed, you can't tell. But when it's strapped in the open configuration you'll be able to see it.
That being said, my main question is with the drain tubes they provide. Where am I supposed to route them? I see two slits in the liner where the bed meets the bulkhead, but they are really narrow and I would have to get some sort of fitting to put on the tubes.
For now I am using this hole they left uncovered after spraying the bed, next to the tie down. Is that a bad idea? Is it intended to be used as a drainage hole?
If I keep it there I think I need to cut the tubes down a bit. I can't really tell which way the end is oriented and if it's going to hold water.
