    might work , not sure


    why not vent it like you said and put some foam filters inside/ outside them
    spray them with cooking spray to catch the fine particals similar to a dirtbike filter

    They work heaps better than an unpressurised tub. I have one flexiglass black flappy one in the middle of the top at the front (?). 2nd ute I've done it to.
    They also keep the heat down inside.
    Some dust still gets in but trying to seal a ute tray completely has its own issues.

    In the cabin it's driving with outside air on full that keeps the dust out, then the flick to inside air when a car passes or overtakes so dust is in the air. Following along that line stick a bung or the like in the rear cabin wall to make it a part of the cabin airflow, still you would need a good well fitting cover to make the idea work well.

    curved scoop like a lot of cruiser wagons have on top will help to some degree
