how weather tight are these covers from rain?

Couldn't tell you. I ordered three of these and they were all broken when I opened the box. I spent a little more money and got an Extang and it works perfectly.

Very tight, have not had any problem with rain getting in my bed. The seal on the cover is very good.

I've had it on my truck for about 5 days so I haven't had a good test yet but it has a rubber seal that seems pretty tight. They also provide an additional seal for the bottom of the tailgate to help prevent water being splashed up from under the truck. It should keep it pretty dry.

If you use the seals provided correcly against the cab they are water tight! I've traveled through several storms with luggage in the bed with no worries! I love mine!

I wouldnt trust it too much in the rain to be honest, but thats just my opinion based on typical chinese build quality. Im sure a ziplock baggy would work well. Keep an eye out for nano-sprays in aerosol cans. They essentially water-proof/water-resistant anything you spray.

I have had these outside in all kinds of weather for over three months now and there are no issues with rain. (Except that dreary weather affects the charging so they don't stay lit as long, but that is to be expected from a solar product.)

They will be fine in a wet environment. Mine have weathered countless heavy thunderstorms and strong winds with no problems. Highly recommend them.

Haven't put them to the test yet, but they seem fairly water resistant. The back panels, towards the rear wheel, feel a bit more "rubberized" for better spray protection from the wheel, but I'd recommend treating these with a good silicone boot/tent waterproofing spray, especially along the seams, for better weatherproofing, or do what I did and order a couple of small backpack covers (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H2FKECA/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1) for extra protection.

I always put the cover on when I think it will rain. However, the few times when a surprise shower would happen I am happy to say 'No they do notretain water. If they do get wet, they dry quickly.

They're definitely water resistant. We've been in a few light rains and drizzles with them. I can't say how long they might keep the water out in a downpour.

We keep ours covered when it rains. The covers came with the lamps. They are really nice lamps.

I have had not problems with these in the rain. I have drove at night in very hard rain recently and they did well.

I have used mine in the rain and had no problems, so far they've been fine.

I haven't tested it in the rain but the material looks as thow it should. The add reads not for bad weather only to block the sun.

Yes. The zippers each have flaps that overlap the teeth so rain can't get it that way either.

Yeah they hold up well in the rain, I was on a training rotation with 30 mph winds laying in the rain on a gun team and they held up great. They were soaked on the foam, but I let them dry and they were fine. Didn't shrink it anything

It is water tight for rain for sure. I havn't had it through the winter yet.

Sorry I cannot answer the question as I have not installed the cover yet. (I leave in Quebec and spring has just arrived) The fabric does feel waterproof and I expect it will prevent rain from coming through.

If sealed tight these would keep rain and moisture out. I would not submerge.

I have never had to use a rain cover (in Arizona!). I do however, have a cheap one I picked up at target (can't remember the brand) "just in case". I think as long as it is big enough any cover will work fine.
