The corner on one side (rear driver ) is starting to poke up a bit but nothing major. Keeping an eye on it though

Mine are bad but I am blaming it on my cross box style auxiliary fuel tank that sits on the rails...

What year is truck and what part of the country are you in?
I have a one month old 2019 in central Florida so I'll keep an eye out. So far so good.

While this was a serious and frustrating question, I thought this was the beginning of a song...
Do your bed rails warp?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder
like a continental soldier?

Mine are warped in the middle. I figured it has something to do with the 4000lb 5th wheel pin weight.

It goes away when hitched up.

Someone posted about it a few months back. Might have been buried in a post about multiple issues.

Mine have warped really bad a few times, I'm on my third set and Ford is wanting to keep my access tonneau cover off for a few months, right before winter. Has this happened to others and has a fix been found?

Mine do when the sun hits it hard. I figure it's from my tonneau cover. It's clamps in between the side rails not on top. I am assuming it is not letting the plastic expand like it should. It goes back to normal when it cools down.

-5°c here today, once they ripple they never go back down on mine, that's a shame because I love my tonneau cover but would like to keep my new truck looking sharp haha anybody have any ideas on how to get around the expanding contracting with tonneau cover clamps?

2017 here. South Texas and truck sits outside all day and all night. Summer time is brutal down here. I have had no warping issues. I remove these things all of the time bumping dents. The only way i can see them warping is if someone has removed them before and possibly broken the retaining tabs. Some hacky pdr guys and body shops will just rip them off breaking the majority of the retainers, then they will just slap them back down and let it roll down the road leaving the cap held down by half of the tabs. You my want to gently pry the edge up and look under there and see if the clips are broken. Are they twisting or just lifting up on the end? The clips on the skinny end are the easiest ones to break if you are not careful when removing them.
