YMMV
Recently purchased and installed a Bakflip 4. Selected it because, it's a hard cover, can support up to 400 pounds, I can close it without having to open the tailgate and it's easy to remove. Considered the rollup but, there are times I need the whole bed. The new truck has only had 2 washes and there are no leaks.Jeff and Mary

I've had the Backflip on my last 2 trucks and absolutely love it. Its also saved my rear window a few time when it was completely folded up with a bunch of stuff in the box. No leaks on either. But if I'm not mistaken, you need to have the reg or long bed if you want it down while pulling the 5th.

It goes to the front bed rail and has a rubber gasket. The canister may collect some water, but anything it collects drains out through rubber tbing that empties behind the cab.
The Retrax is not absolutely water proof, and in a driving rain I'll have a small amount of water entry near the tailgate. I don't thinkl any of the bed covers are totally watertight.2010 Jayco 26(SOLD)

It’s about 5-6” when rolled up and there are a couple of straps that keep it rolled up and out of the way. My fiver does not come close to it when turning or backing. BTW, I had a similar Truxedo (Low-Pro) on a F150 Ecoboost I used to have when Hurricane Matthew came within about 25 miles of us. My truck sat outside. I got about three drops of water in the bed, but I think that blew in around the side of the tailgate.

We have the Truxedo Deuce and liked it so much that when we went from our short bed to a long bed we bought another one. Having that large section next to the cab that opens without rolling up the whole cover is nice. One thing to watch when buying a cover is how high it sits on top of the bed rails. The deuce is only 1/2 inch.
