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.
