 Top MoldingAnyone put a weather strip or seal on the bed rails to protect the paint before installing hard top or soft top?

Re: Top Molding Ours has the factory seal. Still had some marks when it was removed, but it had been on for 25+ years.

Re: Top Molding You might consider ordering some rubber strips from mcmaster. That would both protect and seal.

Re: Top Molding I needed some to space the top away from the bedrails so my soft doors would fit. I ordered 1/4" thick, but you'd go with much thinner. And the softer stuff will crush better.

Re: Top Molding would camper seal tape work ?? Has a peel back adhesive on one side, made out of foam rubber. Any RV place would have it.

Re: Top Molding watch out using neoprene, I have used it and it messes with the crush factor. The doors won't seal & you will have gaps all over the place. Get some really soft rubber or buy the OEM ones from JBG
