Question:

My 2019 has the bed that is a Speaker... The holes that you show above do not exist on my model... Do you know where to run the drain on my model?

Since your 2019 Honda Ridgeline has speakers in the bed I strongly recommend going a different direction than the Extang EnCore because there is no way to guarantee you can drill through that bed for the drain hose without damaging the speaker wires.

The best option by far is going to be a tonneau cover that has seals and no drain hoses that require drilling into the bed of your '19 Ridgeline. A great option at a similar price is the BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK39602 which is a hard tonneau cover that sits completely inside your truck bed rails for a smooth appearance and easy functionality.

If you do not have the drain holes on your 2019 Honda Ridgeline you will not want to use the Extang EnCore because it does require you use those cut outs. There is no alternative area for drain holes because you have speaker wiring, and attempting to drill will almost certain mean you are going to drill right through the wiring. To avoid damaging the speakers or wiring in the bed of your '19 Ridgeline I highly recommend going with a cover that does not require drain holes that need to be drilled, and you can find great options for hard tonneaus in the same price range as the EnCore such as the BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK39602, TruXedo Sentry Hard Tonneau Cover # TX1530601, or TruXedo Sentry CT Hard Tonneau Cover # TX1530616. I have added links to video reviews for you to take a look at of these tonneau covers as well.
