I have the Tyger tri-fold soft cover. Love it, and the included brackets for the factory trail rail system.
BUT, it is straight at the tailgate, and the tailgate has a slight hump in it. So, the rear corners look a little wonky to me. I slid the cover as far forward as I could, which helped a little. Are all covers made this way? Thinking about bending the rear bar a little. Maybe I am overthinking!

Just installed the same cover and had the same thing. I think it looks fine, I just worry about water getting in the corners.

My Access Literider is the same way. There is weatherstripping at the corners though. I hand wash all the time and have no issues with water getting in.

Mine looks like that as well and I haven't had any problems with water getting in. Just went to the car wash today and nothing, not drop got in. All soft Tri Folds I have saw look that way. As long as you used the weather stripping that came with it you will be fine as far as water goes.

Also as far as installing it, you want to make sure that when you shut the tailgate that the Tyger top moves up slightly to get a good seal, of it doesn't water will get in. I had mine to far forward when I first installed it and I had to move it back a little.

Well, I did the automatic car wash test after wheeling at the dunes last weekend.
Not a drop in the bed! It's on there correctly I guess. I'll have to get used to the corners.
