    2550472A-2593-470D-9BD4-65B00069B524.jpg I’ve put about 500 miles on my 2020 and I’ve noticed water and dirt entering the bed from underneath the bed caps. I drive on dirt roads fairly regularly. Has anyone else noticed this? I have a tonneau cover on, but the dirt and water are not getting in from the tonneau seal. As you can see in the photo there dirt is running down the side of the bed from under the bed caps. Any solutions?

    Seems like a good option. Are the caps held in place with clips?

    Heck yeah! RTV the front header rail gaps, seal the bed rails, and check out the RokBlocks TG seal.
