Glad I found this thread, as I'm having the same exact problem. I am having to replace the mounting rails for my tonneau cover this week, and I may have tweaked the truck bed rail slightly (but no cosmetic damage.).
I have the TS3, and I automatically assumed those "wings" hanging down from the frame behind the pinbox bolt was the issue. But if you measure those, they cannot reach the bed rails even at 90 degrees of jackknife. The contact appears to be the aft-most portion of the frame, up where they mount the breakaway brake box.
I also called MorRyde and DRV and they were both scratching their heads. Only thing Rob said for sure is that he wouldn't recommend lowering the pinbbox by going from 6 to 5 bolts. But it sounds like I'm not the only one out there with this problem.
I definitely don't have enough clearance between the bed rails and the underside of the trailer. And at the rear, near the tailgate I have even less clearance. The trailer is riding a bit nose high, and this decreases the gap. I have the 2" riser under the TS3 hitch and don't want to decrease the clearance up front any more by removing it. So, the solution appears to be raising the rear of the trailer 2" (MorRyde IS back there.)
Until then, I have to be very careful not to rest the trailer on the tailgate by going into twisting up or down driveways. I won't be able to get to the MorRyde factory until April......so fingers crossed between now and then.
