    I have a roll-top cover on my truck.

    When i hit the dirt roads, fine dust comes up into the bed from the small gap along the tail gate.

    I tried a weather strip from Autozone (i was skeptical) and it only worked briefly until it wasn't sticking anymore (opening and closing the tailgate caused too much movement).

    Is there a product to purchase to solve this problem or do i just keep using a beach towel?

    Thanks everyone.

    Move. I’m in Wyoming and have the same issue. Tried the gasket but it got torn up pretty quick and it still left a tiny gap where the tailgate and topper come together. I basically keep anything in the bed in totes.

    Not sure what happened ,but the tailgate seals work good for me. Never had them fall out of get torn up to bad. Make sure you clean well before putting it on. It should prevent any dust from coming in along the bottom of tailgates and the majority of the sides. On the sides you will need to cut smaller pieces and put them in any gaps. I have a topper and where the topper meets the corners of the tailgate is always a challenge.
