Hey guys - question for the group about dust and the bed. After numerous rides anything I have in the bed is completely covered in dust.

I have a 100-5 with a hard top, glass windshield, and fabric mid panel. Sometimes the dust swirling in the cab is horrible and others its tolerable. What really bugs me is the dust in the bed. Has anyone seen anything like a tonneau cover for the bed? I was thinking maybe that would help to keep the dust from covering everything.

Would some type of spoiler on the rear of the roof stop the dust from being sucked back in?
We are on vacation trail riding in the Colorado mountains and everything in our P1K-5, including us, is covered in fine dust.

The rear panel helps some but the best is to have positive pressure in the cab. The easiest way to do that for most people is to have the windshield removed or open.

Others have tried to add hood scoops to the roof to grab air and create positive pressure, but I don't know how well that worked.

I know you're frustration because I deal with the same problems. Since I have added the rear panel and typically drive slower speeds, it's not that big of an issue.

Hopefully some others will chime in with some ideas.

Maybe some type of spoiler or diffuser would help?

I really like having the windshield to keep the rain and bugs off. This past couple weeks hunting we got rained on pretty good, its too bad there isn't a flip up option for the glass windshield like the Polaris has. I typically drive at slower speeds too but for some reason it seems as the back pulls in a ton of dust.

I was thinking maybe something like this might help

I wish it was dust that I was trying to keep out of my bed... Mud is my problem along with @joeymt33 and the rest of the Bull Run crew... But I do know what you are talking about. My driveway, especially this year is nothing but dust when I take a ride down to the other end of the property. I guess the only thing at this time would be to get a custom cover with snaps but that would be a pain everytime you wanted to put something in the bed...

I do the best I can sometimes at not blurting out what I'm thinking. That's why I edit a lot

Thanks for not not making me the only one by speaking up!
