The Tundra 45 creates an airtight seal. If the lid is hard to open, ensure there is no vacuum lock by slightly adjusting the seal or waiting a moment for pressure to equalize.
Drain plug is leaking

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize cooling efficiency, pre-chill the cooler before use by placing it in a cold area or filling it with sacrificial ice overnight. When packing, aim for a high ice-to-contents ratio, as air gaps will cause ice to melt faster.
For cleaning, use a mixture of mild soap and water with a soft brush or sponge. The Vortex Drain System simplifies the cleaning process; simply open the drain plug to flush out dirty water after a trip. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads, as these can damage the finish. Store the cooler in a cool, dry place when not in use, and keep the lid slightly open to prevent moisture buildup and odors.
