Question Sealing tailgate to make dustproof?

Just got a Snuglid tonneau put on. Now how do I keep all the dust out while driving on gravel and dirt roads? I would think it comes in through the tailgate AND the very front of the bed. I have a spray-in liner that didn't seal off the small opennings in front.

Get a roll of the tape used to set the camper top on the bed rails. It is about 3/16 thick and about 1 1/2 inches wide. I ran a strip across just between the end of the bed liner and the tailgate. I bought mine at Payless Cashways home center but any camper dealer should have it.

They also make a seal designed for around the tailgate to keep dust out. It comes in 10 foot lengths for $20, and I've seen it in JC Whitney and Cabela's. I just ordered it, but haven't gotten it yet, so I can't tell you how it works.
