I searched and found a couple of other threads where people asked for info on the best tailgate seals but there were no answers or the responses quickly morphed to discussions about bed covers and how well they did or didn't seal. I have a Retrax electric retractable cover and devised various solutions to make it water tight, not to mention eliminate the interference between the Retrax seal and the Rambox lids. So I'm not asking about bed covers or whether they leak and how to seal them.
What I'd like is input from folks who installed tailgate seals at the bottom and along the sides of the tailgate. What seal does the best job of sealing out dust? My guess is that in the absence of a biblical downpour and highway speeds, water getting into the bed from the gaps at the bottom or sides of the tailgate isn't an issue. But, dust getting into the bed especially when driving over dirt or gravel roads is a certainty. What seals that out the best?
Thanks for any information.
