No Drip Rails

I like the smooth roof lines of my SD but, almost every time I open the door in comes a bunch of pine needles or water.
I guess that's the price I have to pay for living in beautiful Northwest. :
I know it's kind of a petty gripe, but I haven't been able to find anything else about my truck that I dislike.

Yeah, it's a real pisser, huh?

I once pulled to the end my driveway with my window down after a nice rain. When I stopped about 65 gallons of water that had been on the roof nearly washed away my power window controls.

I agree with you guys 100%. let me add something to it though. Do you have bed rail caps on your truck? if you do, do you have water build up under neath them and leaking from underneath into the bed?

i have a rolling cover on my 2005 f250 (came with the truck when purchased from dealer) and water always leaks as well as dirt getting into the bed. had the seals on the rolling cover checked but everything is good. they said it is coming from bed rail caps, all the holes where it is fastened to the bed. need to go back to dealer tomorrow.

just wondering if anyone else had this problem. I didnt spend all that money just to have leaky bed rail caps with the possibilitiy of having rust underneath.
