Great so far. Measurements in review.
Pretty difficult to figure out from all of the reviews how long each piece of material is. Even after reading through all of the questions I still wasn't sure what I was getting, and another review said it wasn't enough to seal the bed of the Tacoma (which is wrong...more to come).You receive three pieces of material: The first is the tailgate seal between the bed and the tailgate, which was just over 63" long and slightly over 4" wide as seen in the photo. The next piece is for sealing up the sides of the bed. The piece I received was just over 74" long and around an inch wide. The third piece is around 14" long. It has a thicker bulb portion than the longer piece does and it is there to seal up any other small gaps you might have. Also included are detailed instructions, some alcohol pads, and an adhesion promoter pen that you apply before you peel and stick the seals.The process of applying it is very straightforward. I followed the instructions carefully and it was very easy. I ended up with about 3 feet of extra strips (a mix of all three pieces) when I was done. I was using it on a 3rd gen Tacoma (which has the same width bed/tailgate as every other third gen Tacoma.I shone a light from the bed towards the tailgate to make sure I was covering all of the gaps. Seems to be sticking very well. If the adhesion fails, I'll be sure to update this review.

The media could not be loaded. Followed instructions to a tee, and it took me a total of 15 mins. Of course I pressure washed the area first and allowed to dry for 24 hours. Bummed the heat up in garage to 65 for 24 hours too. Seems like it’s stuck to the spray in liner well. Tailgate alittle tougher to close but closes fine. Recommended for sure to keep rain and dust out.

Great adhesion if done correctly. Easily damaged.
Bought this to help keep my bed water and dust free and it does it well enough.I carefully followed the installation instruction and used the supplied adhesion promoter. Almost two years later it's holding tight.My biggest issue with this is it's fairly easily damaged if you're not cognizant of dragging things over it.For myself, I have not fully addressed dust and water ingress from other points of the bed so it does a fine job of holding the water and dirt in too.

Why don't pickups come withe this as standard????
This is awesome! No more digging junk out from the tailgate gap! Install was really easy and the adhesive is super strong. I've bashed it with all kinds stuff and drug things over it and it hasn't budged. I've recommended it to all my friends with pickups!Update on 9/24/18: Unfortunately I did a stupid thing and backed a trailer with my tailgate down. Now I know how tailgates get that giant crush-dent on the top of them. I always thought people dropped heavy things on them, but nope, backed a trailer with the gate down. Anyway, I had to replace my tailgate because I just couldn't stand it. Removing the Rok Block added an extra hour and half to the process! I couldn't believe how well it had stuck! It took a lot of strength to remove the gap cover and it left residue on my bed which I had to scrape and pick at for over an hour to get off. I was worried about it because I had recently transported my chainsaw and gas can and the can had fallen over en route. There was gas in the back of my pickup just sitting there soaking for at least an hour. I thought sure it would have harmed the adhesive on the Rok Block but nope - it didn't bother it at all. I was really amazed at how well. I ordered a new set for my new tailgate and am 100% confident it's going to stay in place for a really, really long time in spite of the abuse things take in the back of a pickup!

Instructions Not Clear
Will see how product performs and holds up. Instructions should be more specific to individual vehicles with specific ways to get best seal. Kind of guessed as I went to close up gaps.

Works well, strong adhesive
After reading all the reviews, I bought this seal and it works well! It was installed 2 months ago and the adhesive REALLY sticks! An important point - it absolutely keeps water and dust out of the truck bed... but it also TRAPS water and dust IN the truck bed. Obviously. I've had a tonneau leak for some time before installing this seal, and now I'm extra motivated to stop that tonneau leak. As I said, this seal really sticks and works!

Didn’t stick well enough to keep out the dust
Purchased this and installed it before going up the Dempster Highway in Canada, I was hoping to keep out the dust. I cleaned my entire backend/tailgate with rubbing alcohol used the adhesion promoter and followed the directions to the T. I also used all of the extra length I had to further seal the sides, I thought I was ready for the gravel highway.I sealed all the seams of my tonneau cover with duct tape to help prevent intrusion of dirt and hit the road. I was beyond disappointed when I got to my campground for the night and EVERYTHING was covered with dust in the backend, with heavier dust the closer you got to the tailgate. It had covered a nearly new microwave/convection over/air fryernthat I had next to the tailgate with dust. In fact the dust was so bad that it ruined that microwave (started smoking after it ran for a few minutes). A week later the seal started to peel from the tailgate, it’s still on there, but the opening now is even larger than it was before. I’m back from my trip and now need to figure out how to remove the seal. I’d like to find one what works better and won’t be buying this brand again.
