Default Tailgate seal

Well after hitting the county roads for a little hunting last weekend I have discovered that with a tonneau cover a tailgate seal is almost mandatory! I have nearly 2 inches of dirt right back by the tailgate and a pretty thick covering on everything else in the back of my truck. After searching here and pretty much only finding mentions of seals I thought I'd just ask. Who has a tailgate seal? What one do you have? Does it help? TIA!

When I first put on my tonneau cover 9 years ago, I tried a few different tailgate seals and different types of weather stripping.

They'd work good for a bit, but would eventually start to fold over and peel off.

Plus one for the Rok-Blok. I'm contemplating that on my '16 now that I put my MX4 on.
