2013 SR5 4WD Double Cab Long Bed

Swiss aluminum cap

So, I have a 2013 double cab with 6ft bed. Love it, hate the plastic side rail caps. I have a Swiss aluminum cap on it. Those plastic rail caps are higher than the front and tailgate. The seals that Swiss installed are coming out and never really addressed the gap between the tailgate and the cap door. I think Extruded Solutions has the seal for the front, have to do some measuring. They say that they have "heard" of people using their Ultimate Tailgate Seal to close the gap between the tailgate and cap door. I have to take the cap off anyway to reseat it, so good time to replace all seals. A curious bear in the Smokies managed to shift it on one side.
Has anyone had any success with getting their caps to seal up water tight, especially the tailgate? Does anyone have experience with Extruded Solutions products? Thanks!
