A tonneau cover can include a frame, a cover, and a gasket configured to be positioned between a portion of the frame and a portion of the vehicle and further configured to reduce liquid passage between the portion of the frame and the portion of the vehicle. In some embodiments, the gasket includes a compression portion and an attachment portion configured to connect with the portion of the frame. The attachment portion can include a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion positioned between the first and second portions and having a greater thickness than both of the first and second portions. The compression portion can be positioned between the attachment portion and the portion of the vehicle when the tonneau cover is in use, and the compression portion can include at least one bulb having a hollow passage extending along the length of the gasket.

Tonneau cover and sealing gasket for same

A tonneau cover can include a frame, a bed cover portion located within the frame, and a gasket to form a watertight seal between the frame and a vehicle. In some embodiments, the gasket includes an attachment portion configured to connect with the frame and a compression portion attached to the attachment portion and configured to deform between the tonneau cover and the vehicle to resist water entry between the gasket and the vehicle. In some embodiments, the attachment portion is less compressible than the compression portion. In some embodiments, the attachment portion comprises a pair of arms extending outward from a stop component and the compression portion comprises a pair of bulb seals, each of the bulb seals being located below each of the arms.
