Dust proofing my Pajero

Hi all,
My Pajero is leaking dust into the car when driving on a dirt road. It is bad. After only about 1km the car is filled with dust it is as if it is sucked in. I suspect the back door. Do someone know where I can get my car dust proofed. or is there a DIY option that will work.
Thanks.

I once read that you should put your interior fan on and blow fresh air(not recycle the air) into the cab. This creates a high pressure inside the cab and dust does not get "sucked" into the cab.
I tried it and it worked for me.

renierk,
Pajeros are generally dustproof. Normally when dust do gets in, it enters via the air outlets situated behind the rear bumper cover below the taillight units (one per side). The two units have rubber flaps that can get "stuck" in the open position thus allowing dust to enter. If you have small hands you might be able to reach these flaps without removing the bumper cover if not, bad news, remove the cover and release the flaps so that they can do their job.

I had the same problem.
I removed the rear bumper and glued the vents so that no dust can enter. Never had the problem again.
