    How's it been doing? I've got a major dust problem I also need to solve, though I think I need to do more in addition to this here. For example, I can see directly into my bed, meaning there is a large enough gap at the left and right ends of the camper shell where the tailgate, shell door panel, and bed channels all meet. So I'm thinking I might also need to run this foam along the bed channel supports I bought from [INSERT FABRICATOR HERE]. What do you think?

    Yeah, I have a gap there too. haven't figured out a nice way to close that off. I was thinking of adding foam there too but haven't gotten around to it.

    Only solution I’ve been able to think up is either placing some foam blocks in the corner of the tailgate (not really a good look), add rubber flaps to the camper shell rear door corners, or add rubber flaps to the corners of the opening. I haven’t really explored this any further. Let me know if you come up with anything else.

    Blacked Out Interior Trim
    Finally got around to blacking out the remaining interior trim. I decided to try my luck at painting the vent shroud and the cup holders with Krylon Fusion paint. Some things I've learned is that even though it says no prep on the can, you still need to prep the part before using this paint, if not you will get areas where the paint orange peels. Color and texture came out good. I used Satin Black.
