Dust!

Man, just dug under the passenger side bench seat to get something and I can't believe the dust. That's my toaster, look at that dust. I've been on backwoods gravel roads for a couple of weeks but I've been doing that since I got the T@B and never had this kind of fine dust. Gotta be coming in through a vent back there - any idea to which and how to solve it without really blocking it?

    There is a penetration through the floor for the gas line that connects to then Alde. Check it for a proper seal. As well I would ensure that the wheel well is not cracked or broken and that the seal between it and the floor is sound.

    Also check the seal around the wheel well.  A little extra caulk there can never hurt.

    States the T@Bpole has camped, so far ;)

    If it is a vent, could you cut a piece of file to fit?

    Haven't had time to go searching for the source - camped in a little county park editing photos - free campground, free elect - Need to get those done and out of here by noon tomorrow - They have a mudder derby going on at the adjacent racetrack so this place will more than likely turn into a noisy zoo.

    I have an '06 and get the same dust.  I think in my case it is coming up through the wheel well joints.  with mine, it is on both sides.

    mash2 - Haven't pulled the seats over the wheels, kind of afraid to. Gonna have to hit a car was with a big vac, my DustBuster probably won't cut it.
