Dust under tonneau cover

[Mr.Seaguar]

On gravel roads I get a ton of dust. Any solutions? I rolled my cover up but that defeats the purpose. Thanks.

I lock the back with the little lever on the right side of mine.  It tightens it down a bit more at the back end and would prevent dust more.

It comes up thru the drain holes in the corner of the box. Even with mine sprayed with Line-x, and a heavy rubber bed mat, and the Access cover tighter than a drum, it still gets in my new F-150 box.

I want my truck as dirty as possible Oct/November.  I treat it like a truck with pride.  Once I'm done hunting my neighbor kid details the interior and its back to being a city truck.  Right now there are a few shotgun shells here and there, two guns under the back seat in cases, some various camo and blaze clothes in it.  Two kennels in the back (finally had to put the insulated covers on them) and my 16 year old son put a dent in it pulling in the garage.  I'm not fixing it until after hunting season, there's some blood here and there from grouse and ducks.   I hope to give some deer a ride in it over the next few weekends too.  

I guess since I'm married I don't have to worry about picking up a date in it but frankly I think if I wasn't I'd prefer the gal that likes it the way it is!  I don't like dust inside though, I recirc the air on dusty roads to help it a bit, gotta see out the front window.

leechlake your truck as described is nearly identical to mine

+2 minus the guns, shells, blood, camo, blaze orange, kennels.........   It gets a spring wash/wax and detail and a fall wash/wax detail. The time in between it gets dirty so i have something to do in the spring and the fall!

 

Since you have the cover on maybe a little duct tape in the corners over those drains might help?

I hope you find a solution as I have the same problems. While duck hunting, everything under my cover gets caked in dust. I do seem to remember that my cover came a dust guard that went around the tailgate. I thought it look stupid so I never applied it...may have to see where I stuck that and see if it helps...

Putting any type of a cover on a pick up box will create a negative air pressure (Vacuum) Depending on your truck there can be added a tailgate seal to help if you have a 07+GM truck will good luck as they are the worst just look under your box rail and see the 4 holes per side the size of your fist. Agri Cover does offer the Total Truck seal and it helps some. The manufactures do not seal them as there not meant to be air tight. If its something you have to have look into a Van or SUV as the dust is a never winning battle if you are on gravel

All you need are the tail gate seals.

Huh! Thanks, Bart! I have an Access Lorado, didn't even know they had that...!

[BartmanMN]

I do not own the kit, but my hunting buddy will not own a truck without it as he drives on gravel a ton in the Fall.  He swears by them.   He said without the kit, all his gear would be covered in dust/dirt.  Sounds like it keeps the Wet out too.  Maybe I need to order this too.  hmmm

I have that kit and it works pretty well.  I bought a 2nd separate tailgate seal kit (Chevy has a huge gap between the bed and tailgate) that I installed with about a 1/2" space between the first, and that seems to have helped some.
