The hinges are countersunk into the edges of the panels, so the panels
actually close flush with each other. They are not 100% watertight
seams, but with a little tree junk in there.... The center support
panels crown the center of the Tonneau about 3/8", providing positive
run-off.

I would think that spanning the width of the bed, and having the
hinges located between the panels, that you would have a problem with
rainwater being funnelled down into the bed??? I have seen some with
a "bowed" framework (all one piece) that hinged in the front and
raised up for access from the tailgate end. Nice job, BTW.
