I have a 2015 Dodge Ram. I just bought and installed the truxedo truxport tonneau cover. Does anyone have any pictures of their tailgate seals? I want to make sure I have it on right but theres a couple things on the tailgate/bed that could be an obstacle so I want to see pictures of someone elses installed. Thanks.

I installed mine and the wiring in the middle on the bed side was a minor obstacle. Two weeks after installing the non adhesive side had melted/molded to the tailgate and I had to tear the whole bottom edge off.

Would you be able to snap a picture? Dodges tailgates are weird. They have alot of stuff in the way so I want to make sure I put the seal on exactly right. Thanks.

I've had one on for 3 years now, but unfortunately will be in Russia for another 2 weeks so wouldn't be able to take the picture until then.

I haven't had any issues with it ans it seems to cut down on some dust getting in.

I gotcha. Yea i'm trying to figure out if I should just divide the strip. I have a tailgate lock on mine so theres a little plastic pad and cable right in the center of where the seal should go

Exactly, I tried to cut space for this but it's very awkward to make the seals sit properly with this in the way. I'd take a picture but that bottom seals is no longer on my truck. I ripped it off once the non-adhesive side got stuck to the tailgate itself.
