I'm talking about the piece that is vertical comming down from the rail. Looka about 4 or 5" long and about 1" wide.
No - I have the Keko kit installed and like it very much!. It's that short strip to the right of the Keko comming down from under your tonneau rail. Thats the piece I need to seal the opening at the very top of the tailgate gap. Its the one area the Keko seal does not reach.This? If so that is the tailgate kit from Keko USA for the 2024 Ranger
Oh, sorry. That is a chunk of the gasket material I didn’t need from the Keko kit since I have a bed rug. It’s an experiment. I think a 1/2” foam weather stripping would be best. I just didn’t have any of that.
I feel like an idiot that I didn't think of that. Genius idea to buy rubber plugs! I know a lot of the holes are M6, but not seeing any larger kits on Amazon that have plugs smaller than M7. Which kit(s) did you order, and what sizes did you use?There are all kinds of holes in the bed that let in dust. See pic as an example.
I tried to plug every one of them. Very tedious work but it seems to have paid off.
I used this kit.
Gary - You were right! Went to Lowes and bought 1"SQ expandable weatherstrip and it worked beautifully! It's comes compressed at about 1/4 or 1/2 on the roll but when it is cut and put into place it expands to 1" forming the perfect seal between the bottom of the Tonneau Cover frame and the side of the Keko bracket. I stuck a 2" long strip vertically on the side of the bed in back of, adjacent to, and against the Keko bracket so it could expand out - and a tad bit to the side. It formed a perfect seal. Decided not to go thru or put it in front of the bracket. It formed just as good of a seal looks a lot neater behind the bracket.
Got this kit because it was affordable. Despite a review saying it wasn’t compatible with the 2024 Ranger, I tried it, and it works. Installed it where it seemed best, and now the dust problem in my Raptor bed is gone.
Looks sweet ! Do the two pices on the sides of the tailgait (nice idea!) come in contact with the bottom piece ? And I'm assuming you can't see through the side gaps of the tailgate ?Got this kit because it was affordable.

Yes, the gap between the tailgate and the sides of the bed is sealed, so you can't see through anymore. Also, it’s possible to have the two pieces on the sides of the tailgate make contact with the bottom piece, but due to the protrusion of the hinge on the lower part that closes the gaps, I chose not to extend the seal below that point. As I mentioned, I installed it without following the instructions, just in the way I thought would be best.
