    I used some self- adhesive weatherstripping that I found at Home Depot... a roll was about $7 and works great.

    Just a note that if you have a shell or cover and you have any water leaks/intrusion like most of us do at some point/weather conditions and you seal that bottom tailgate gap up tight there will be nowhere for the water to run out. Dust is my worst enemy when a covered bed get it all sucked up and into the cargo. I have a bed matt so water runs under it in the hard bed plastic grooves.
