    I just called this company asking for the price for these seals. Don't even have their product and they shipped me a pair for free since its such a small product.

    (Not my truck bed) Did you run a bead of silicone along the bottom of the bed closest to the tailgate on each side? There is a 3 to 4 inch long gap along the floor and bed rail's. I bought a squeeze tube of silicone at Walmart and filled those places with. (to the right & left of those 2 bed tie downs is the gap.)

    I had a topper/cap on my SR5 and the only place the bed leaked was from the left and right top bed corners behind the cab..

    I will have to check out the rear bed rails, but if there is a gap along the floor it will work as a drain so no silicone there.

    Yeah I thought about that too but I would rather keep as much dust out of my bed as I can. I'm sure what little water gets in my bed drains out between my tailgate seals. Or the front drain holes.

    After I added the OEM bed rail and two cleats from my 2014 under the Header Piece I sealed the corners by pulling out the end caps and then applied RTV. Works well with no leaks with my tonneau Cover.

    This is a really good option to fill in those two front gaps. They slide out super easy..

    That pic was a huge help. Just purchased a used OEM 6ft cover with all hardware needed and swapped rails with him. Couldn’t remember how the plugs were installed and this was the only thing I could find on the Internet. Thanks!
