Why in the world would you design a truck so that debris that gets in between the cab and the bed can't escape? I noticed leaves, sticks, pollen pods and pinestraw accumulating but I couldn't get it out. I tried a power washer and a leaf blower. This stuff holds water and I figured would eventually start causing a rust issue. Looking under the truck I couldn't figure out how to get to it from the bottom. I finally found something I thought might work. A Dressage Whip. Thin and flexible but strong. It got the stuff moving but not a lot. I finally got it down through the stuff and looked underneath. I finally realized there was a rigid rubber strip covering the gap at the bottom of the bed. Without the whip poking through it just looked like a solid piece across there blocking access to the gap. Once I realized it was a little flexible and I could get my fingers in there, I worked it for about an hour to finally get the debris out of there. I could have filled at least a gallon bucket with all that wet rotting mess that's been stuck in there. So why would they design something so stupid? The rant's over but this will be an ongoing issue.
