    Any tips or ideas on how to best waterproof the bed of my 2017 TRD Sport? I have a hard folding tonneau cover and I would really like to waterproof my bed. I travel a lot and if I have backpacks, luggage, gear, ect... in the bed I dont want it getting wet from rain or puddles or anything like that.

    I was thinking of taking rubber hose, kinda like bike tire tubes, and running it along the entire lip of my bed. Attempting to make a waterproof seal.

    Anyone have advice?

    Thanks TW-

    I have used a similar strip on some tool boxes. Worked well and cheap. Other sellers have some different sizes.
