    Finally got a chance to explore my area. I was on a dirt/gravel road for about 60 miles round trip. Got back home and went to unload all the stuff in the bed. To my surprise there was a nice layer of dust that blanketed the entire area. I have a canopy which I know is sealed and the only place I can think of is the tailgate. What has anyone done to remedy this? I plan on another trip in the next few weeks and would like to avoid this at all cost.

    Weather stripping around the tailgate. There are kits out there specifically for this. It helps quite a bit.

    Most likely. Not completely airtight. Depends how you apply it. Apply it accordingly.

    There are a lot of people who do both sides and bottom of the gate. On my F150 I applied on the sides but not the bottom specifically because if the bed is open and water piles up, even if it can still easily drain past the seal I figured it's going to keep bombarding that seal adhesive until it loosens. I guess start with the sides, check results, add to the bottom if needed.
