Out in between the out side of the bed and the actual bed where the bed pockets are. I cut my hoses short but that something you could cut as long as you want, Just didn't want them to rub or rattle. If you look up inside the bed it's pretty clear to see the bed pockets where the holes are..

Did you put a tube down the other side of the box to drain the water away from the inner panel as well, or does the water end up running down the inside of the exterior panel?
I have the Bakflip on my 150 and agree that their recommendation for the tubing routing is not very attractive and it sprays the water on the back of the cab in heavy rain.
Nice hack.

Got my MX4 installed and I love it - great top. I also hate their idea on the drain tubes. I cut a 1 1/8th hole in the stake channel 4 inches from the top of the bed before I had my spray in liner applied. When I put the top on I slid the supplied black plastic tubes into the stake channel and done.
This drains straight to the ground and (because I cut them before the liner was sprayed) it looks factory.

Yea I used a little longer tube than in the pic. The factory hole is in perfect position.
I went by the LineX shop and they sprayed the copper elbow and now you really have to look hard to see it.
