This is the first tonneau cover

[gemarsh]

That I have been around or touched. I have always been a crossover toolbox kinda guy. I have been lead to believe that there was not a company that produced cover for trucks with toolboxes.

Found out Agri-Cover makes a cover for a pickup with a crossover toolbox. They are out of North Dakota, I know them for tarps on semis and auger karts...

Bought the Access cover toolbox edition from them, and I can't get over the quality. I'm not really trying to keep it dry, just road dust out, but it's sealed up enough that I don't believe it will leak. It makes the truck look kinda citified...

It did not require any spacers between the bed and the old man stick, to clear the side rail. Still has over .50" clearance...

Call me happy.

Thank you for that. Have you used this? The fine print says not compatible. I took a screenshot. Let me know if it works and I'll forget that I read it.

I believe either kit will work fine, install card is attached. Also recommend using 3M Primer, it works well.

Has anyone recently tried to use the above product in a 2024 2500HD with Multipro Tailgate? We went to Birkenhead Lake in BC two weeks in a row and boy the trail is extremely dusty and dust found its way through the multi-pro-tailgate. I have the diamondback HD tonneau cover and just need the bottom and two tailgate sides sealed from fine dust since I plan to do those trips every year.

I live in dirt. Tailgates are completely sealed. It will help, but it looks like most of the dust is coming in from between the bed and bed rail plastics.

It's really a shame. I have given up and roll the tonneau covers up, unless I'm road tripping on asphalt.

I pulled both plastic side up and installed small bead rubber weatherstripping from front to rear and it stopped the dust. You also need to plug up both rear stake holes with foam rubber. Good luck.

I will try that after harvest. I will have to remove the crossover toolboxes. When you say "bead" are you using something like rtv silicone or a small diameter rubber material?

I thought about sealing the bed rails up after witnessing all the dust. Just didn't know what to use.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Fortunately the Diamondback HD is pretty much sealed in truck bed rails areas; I just need something good for the bottom and tailgate sides. Just ordered the kit from the link; hopefully it will work.

I used this weatherstripping under the rails along the outside edge, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XQT9W24?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 I also installed this between tailgate and bed and it has worked well so far https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075PWVW67?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

You have to put something under the plastic side rails on top of the bed or it will leak dust, see my reply below. It doesn't leak between the bed cover and the plastic rail, it leaks between plastic and top of the metal bed rails. The kit will work on your mulit pro.

Apparently this does not stick or comes off due to spray on bedliner or something. What has been your experience? Did you add additional glue?

Hey, thank you for the link. In my cart, now.

I'm going to pass on the filler strip. I don't think it will hold up to dragging steel and calves out repeatedly.

I tried one similar to that one and it didn't stick very well for me. Ended up removing it after only a week.

Exactly what I thought.
