Shell/topper leak question (try to make it waterproof vs bedroll)

[DIYeverything]

Hey yall,

First time posting and first time owning a shell (leer 100xr)-bought used. I get a bit of leaking nothing too crazy but enough to facilitate the need for a cot when sleeping in it. The leaking is just from the rails especially near the cab as seems usual for a lot of shells. for My question to all of you people who sleep in their truck shells is, is it worth me taking the shell off and spending a bunch of time trying to totally seal everything up or just get/make a waxed canvas bed roll and use that on a raised platform?

Not sure I understand where it’s leaking but sealing it will increase condensation unless you have windows to vent?

I do have windows to vent. The actual shell it’s self is watertight but the connection where the shell is placed on the bed itself especially near the cab is the area that leaks the most
