    All I'm hearing are excuses. You know, there are things to protect the paint these days. And how high do you plan on going? Pretty sure that butt gasket is thicker than a Doritos bag.

    Since it doesn't have a window, maybe that cap is more trouble than it's worth, even if it's free.

    Not enough to have a build thread.
    Lol. I'm not taking the whole shell. Just the rack. I like my color matched shell. Even if the clear coat is starting to peel.

    If done right this could work for the cab and shell gasket.

    That would be awesome if those nubs moved around so you could get a massage while taking a crap.

    Ya know we are humans. We have opposable thumbs. Most of us posses the ability to reason. Yet toilets are so damn uncomfortable but everyone has to use them. I'm baffled! Or vext. Or perplexed. Idk!

    I used this stuff. I put a layer on the truck window frame just around the sliding rear window and a matching layer on the camper window frame. The slider on the camper folds inward on my shell for cleaning which made it easy. I never had any buffeting issues.

    I may have tweaked a few things...
    The gasket might work just fine for you depending on how it fits. Mine doesn’t touch paint at all so it shouldn’t cause any damage. The shell window is slightly smaller than the seal around the cab glass so my gasket only touches glass. I did have to fold it in on the top so the upper corners have a small leak, but it only means I have to clean the glass once in a while. Small leaks haven’t been a problem for me so it should be noted I have not water sealed the entire camper:

    I can take a better picture later when the sun is down and I can see with the bed lights. The inside area of the cab window is smaller than the outside part that mates with the gasket:

    Also the bottom part of the gasket doesn’t touch at all so even if water came through the corners at more than a drip (it doesn’t) it just rolls straight down the back of the cab and not into the bed.

    Considered the boot when I first got my shell. But the thing is, I got the Tacoma and shell to keep the dogs out of the cab. Got tired of constantly cleaning dog hair out of the cab. And was told the seal is a PITA. Many reasons. That ice chest cooling rig looks decent. But you'd probably go through a lot of ice.
