Tailgate weather stripping

[John53705]

Looking to keep mosquitos out when sleeping in the back of my 2018 ram 1500 with a topper. Huge gaps between tailgate and truck bed. Are there any good gaskets or weatherstripping made specifically for the Ram 1500? Or any good DIY solutions anyone has seen? Thanks!

If you are talking about the large gaps at the ends of the tailgate by the lights I used this...

Between these two, it closes up a bunch of the gaps. Helps keep dust out of the Box/Canopy area too on gravel roads.

I use both products that Dean2 posted on all of my trucks.
They are easy to apply, stay in place, and do the job. The oldest truck, a 2006 Ford F350 had them since new and are still in place and doing the job of no dust inside.

Ask canopy shop for the tailgate dust seal

Thanks! I was trying to figure this out. Going to order and await warm weather to install.

A Bed rug is a good option to have, if you're sleeping in the box.

Not planning to at this point. Just looking to keep stuff back there more weather protected. And can't remember what brand/type I used for my last truck.
