I may have found a way to seal the tailgate openings against dust/water....long but follow ....
Those of you fimilar with RV's with slideouts know the openings have bulb seals and wipers made from rubber, and usually have a very strong double sided adhesive tape.
I had some of both on hand from doing repairs to my RV over the years.
The photos show the wiper seals on the passenger side, while I left the drivers side stock so you could see the difference.
Also had a length of bulb type gasket that just happened to snap over the "T" on the top of the bumper plastic.
I don't know how well this will work as my Ranger hasen't really seen any dust and its kept garaged.
I'll get the ### of the seals/wipers tomorrow if anyone is interested, BUT, be aware that this stuff ain't cheap.
