Any problems with mosquitoes getting in through the bed cap seal or tailgate?

There aren't really any gaps for mosquitoes to get through, its just like a regular tent, only in your truck bed.

None on mine. We usually have a couple citronella candles around the camp ground too and that helps to keep them away.

no problems with that but I mounted a good size fan inside which creates positive pressure inside so this may stop them from getting in as well

It hugs the truck tightly, even the tailgate. So as long as it's closed, there shouldn't be any problems. It clips along the outside and inside around the entire bed and the tension provided from the straps leave no gaps.

I've used mine only once so far and they didn't bite through it. The hammock appears to be completely mosquito-proof. However, if you plan to sit naked in your hammock, they might have a biting chance.

The way the doors open the mosquitoes will get in but probably no more than any other tent. I think they would stay at the top.

The seal is largely good enough to keep out mosquitoes. Once affixed, you slice around the perimeter of the swinging door with a box cutter, so the opening gap is rather tight. As for the 3 rectangular openings you see at the top of the door in the picture with the dog going through it, those are filled with uncut screen, so no issue there. I live in FL, when closed not an issue for mosquitoes. Super tiny gnats might be able to find a way through - not sure.

We have the occasional Waterbug and Earwick. I spray and use Boric Acid but bugs sometimes come in under the door. The flap is snug and there is a magnetic strip to keep it closed. You'd probably get more bugs flying in when opening the door to let critters in and out then would come in though the flap.

This is repellent device so no bugs are killed and need to be cleaned out. I used a thermacell in a recent hunting trip to a mosquito and black fly infested region of Canada and this thing worked amazingly! Just used mine tonight by the pool and wasn't bothered by any Michigan Mosquitos!

No. Mosquitoes don't bite trough the bottom of the hammock. It is the best hammock I ever bought very comfortable.

Do you care if the lock rattles way back there in the tailgate hinge area? If not, throw it away. If so, use the bubblegum to keep it from rattling.

I install this seal on my Silverado 1500 and noticed no diffference in closing effort. I installed just below the bottom of the bed floor and sides as the directions indicated. Seal is working well to keep out water and dust.

No but if your tailgate locks you can't open it from outside without damaging the cover.

You need to have a locking tailgate. The cover only opens from the inside with a release cord. I am very happy with the cover, nice fit and low profile design.

I could see where that could happen on some vehicles but the more you close it, the more it will compress, making the tailgate easier to close. If that doesn't happen, then you might need a thinner seal.

The tonneau cover latches to the truck from inside with two latches on each side. If your tailgate is equipped with a lock, the tonneau cover cannot be opened from outside with the tailgate locked (except of course with something like a crowbar. I believe the lock on the tailgate is replaceable if yours does not have a key but it might be a dealer item.

My Chevy Colorado had rather large gaps to begin with and with the tailgate seal installed it feels just a little firmer closing than without the seal. I set my bottom seal flush with the bottom of the bed with the tailgate off. After reinstalling the tailgate the seal is also flush with the tailgate. I had more difficulty with aligning the sides the way the Colorado bed is made.

i use one at an entrance door under my carport. it is not completely open but it does exactly what i hoped it would which was to keep mosquitoes away from the door. it works great for that.

I have a retractable tonneau cover but have noticed water between the bed and tail gate mainly because it froze. Even with it frozen and opening and closing the tail gate the liner stayed in tact. I really like the liner somehow it seems to keep stuff I put in the bed in place where it would have otherwise slid around.

My rain barrels are not open barrels. Each has a lid so they are sealed at all times. One has a mesh window screen covering it to prevent mosquitoes from getting in. I have had no mosquito problems whatsoever.
