How is everyone dealing with dust? I had a ton of dust in the back of my bed after a trip with the Diamond Back cover on. It's making a tight seal. The dust seems to be getting in at the bottom of the tailgate. I have a pretty substantial gap there. Anyone else?
I used some thick and wide industrial HVAC adhesive foam. It was more effective than the organically grown natural man made sealer. For real though, I don’t have any dust inside my bed under my shell.

I've taken it off-road here in So Cal but man my long Baja trips put a different level of dust into the back of this truck. I ended up getting the Costco yellow top black bottom storage containers to keep everything clean, but they just don't fit well back there. I'll take a look at those bags
Don’t forget to put a thick and wide strip of self adhesive foam tape at the front of your shell as well as the rear. The front end of toppers by the cab are frequently overlooked by people who focus on the back side

How does the 360 camera work when installing a shell? Do you just lose the one aiming to the bed? Does it effect the system at all if the camera is covered?

I purchased This and moved the camera into the bed. It’s mounted above the window and gives me a perfect view of what’s in the back. Perfect. I have a thread on it. I did drill a small hole in the topper to route the cable….but it’s within the gap so you can’t see it.
