Rubber flap/seal between the bed and the cab?

Hello Tacomers... I've been going kinda nuts cause I am trying to find online something similar to that plastic skirt that runs along the edge of the 2016 bed in between the cab... I think it's there for better aerodynamics but regardless... what I am trying to accomplish is to run it around the camper shell so that it'd create a little less air dispersion when I open the rear window in the truck and the topper... hopefully also reducing the amount of rain that gets on the windows...

I don't know if I made any sense... Also any other suggestions/experiences with "connecting" still kind of loosely the cab and the topper is appreciated... What I would like to achieve is the best type of connection without using an inflatable boot... I don't want to scratch the paint of the cab... Ideally that flap i'm looking for would be stuck to the topper extending towards the cab and maybe touching it but not "glued" to it.

Any thoughts?

 

I've got a new dblcab offroad Taco inbound this week. A topper is in my plan as well as is sealing the topper to/against the cab. I'll either use a compression boot (with Trimbrite Bodyguard protection film over the painted surface) or remove both windows and use an accordion boot (but both window openings must be exactly the same size). Like to go with the accordion boot but we'll see once the truck is on station and I can get true measurements of the window rough openings.

 

Interested in doing something similar, never seen it done before.

They used to have boot that caps had if you wanted to take the window right out. They also had a clear pillowlike item so you could leave the window open all the time.

 

These guys sell similar products.

Those look like a good product. I always bought caps with front boots, never had a problem with them rubbing paint off. One can put 3M clearbra on ahead of time if it's a worry. I did have some troubles fitting the boots underneath the 3rd brake light to get a good seal. A little tugging, a little ingenuity you get a good seal.

 

I was thinking you could DIY it. Maybe get some double sided industrial strength 3M tape and a garage door rubber seal. Make a wind spoiler on the cab of the truck to push wind up and off the canopy. thoughts?
