Re: Dust free Bed
Dust is definitely something that's hard to keep out. Here's all the areas you'll need to consider sealing:
1. Tailgate (which you already knew).
2. Rear Storage Bins. Not only the drain holes, but the holes in which the three tabs on the bottom of the doors sit in (that'll be fun to seal as I can't think offhand of an easy way to do that...maybe add something onto the tabs of the doors?).
3. Storage cubbies over the wheel wells. Those do just pop in and out. I've taken them out several times to rinse them out after firewood cutting.
4. Check at the front of the bed. Where the top of the side pieces come around to the front of the bed, there's a gap that needs to be plugged. I used to get water running into my bed with the tonneau on from these gaps and had to seal it with silicone. Get in the bed and look up underneath the front lip maybe 2-4 inches in from the sides and you should spot it. They're actually pretty large gaps IMO.
