Water under bedliner

I have a factory plastic bedliner in my 05 F150 with the 8ft bed. The tie downs in the front of the bed have a small gap that allows water to leak under the bedliner. I have tried using silicone caulk around the seam but the flexing of the liner makes it come unglued.

Anyone have any ideas of how to keep the water from getting under?
The water that makes its way through the seam drains out of the factory holes in the front of the bed but I still worry about the moisture under there causing rust.

If possible, park truck so the bed drains out. It just takes a small slope to the rear.
