Default Tailgate seal?

Ok , so I'm one of these guys that said I would never ever buy a tonnau cover. So that being said I was wondering if anyone knows of a good tailgate seal to help weather proof my new tonnau cover. Looking for something that works well and doesn't impede the closing of the gate. Any suggestions?

Default Bulb weatherstrip

I'm partial to bulb style weatherstrip with a self adhesive strip. Have used it with both cap & tonneau. Think what's on mine now is an Extang Tailgate Seal. https://jet.com/product/pdp/68bd7136...FYqPfgodOV4NIQ

I use this, http://www.jcwhitney.com/truxedo-tru.../p3072348.jcwx. Easy to put on and it's out of the way.

I have a Lund Soft Tonneau tri-fold, and I have no water issues. Never got water into me bed with the cover on.

We carry the Ultimate Tailgate Seal from Extruded Solutions... nicer seal than the rest IMO... $20 free shipping.

Couldn't find it on your website so I bought the same one from EBay for $16.95 W/Free shipping. But thanks for the product suggestion!

I have the truxedo cover seal + tailgate seal. I have zero water in the bed after going through the carwash.

Love it!

Only downside is that you have to pop the cover to close the tailgate, no biggie though.
