Hi - Thanks for letting me join! ;)
Is there a Mopar fix for the amount of dust that gets into the truck bed from around the tailgate? I have seen after-market seals, but would prefer a genuine Ram fix if possible?
I have a tonneau cover and if i put groceries in the back end, the amount of dust that i have to wash off is ridiculous ;(

Also, I too, have a sticking tailgate - must push it in to be able to open it

Thanks everyone ;)

i glued these auto weather strippings along the l/r sides of the bed wall as you could see in the pics, these definitely helped with minimizing the water leakages, not sure about dust. If you really want to prevent dust from getting into your groceries, get a $6 moving blanket and covers them up. The blanket will serve you well in many application, i have 2 of them.

Welcome to the forum. I too would suggest a moving blanket to cover groceries from collecting dust; however, I am sure you will receive a number of other great suggestions from the good folks on this forum. There is a wealth of knowledge that can be soaked up from in here.
