Tailgate Seal

I have tried a couple of different tailgate seals over the years with minimal success. Does anyone have a good tailgate seal that they have installed on their F150? One of the problems I run into is it makes the tailgate difficult to close and yet doesn't do a very good job of sealing the tailgate. I drive on some gravel roads that the stuff in the bed can get pretty dusty which becomes anyoning.

I have the bed rug so I also wanted a fairly airtight / watertight seal. Attached is what I've used and I am really pleased with it. Took some positing (used blue painters tape) before I actually stuck it. It does not seem overly hard to close tailgate at all.

Hey Fellas,
I purchased the Ford OEM tailgate seal. The tailgate closes without any issues and keeps 'most' of the dust out. Definite improvement vs having no tailgate seal.
