Squeaky new tonneau?

I just installed an Extang Full Tilt snapless, over the rail, soft tonneau on my new Ranger last night. Installation went smooth, fit is good, function is great! But I noticed when I was coming to work this morning, that there's a sharp squeak coming from back there. It sounds like the rubber weather seal rubbing on top the bed rails, maybe. I'm sure it will drive me nuts if I have to keep putting up with it. Do new covers have to "settle in"? Has anyone else gone through this? What can I do?

I appreciate the advice!

Thanks!

I had the same problem, but it turned out one of the clamps was loose. (I probably did not get it tight)

You might check that.
