I was thinking a good way to help seal off the rear of my hard top to the tailgate, would be to fasten some molding to it and then when the gate closed, the rubber molding would seal against the outside of the tailgate. Looking for something like this, but less thick:


Anyone seen anything? I need to order some stuff from mcmaster so I am going to search there too.

PS - just found some on Mcmaster (Part # 3482K6), but it's orange and $4/ft!

Try this place. They have all type of seals, weatherstriping etc. You may have to write to them for sizes on some stuff but they have tons of stuff. This is a link to their PDF Catalog.

Hardware store garage door seal.

Will check out the restoration place, thanks!

Viper - you talking threshold seal or upper seal? Like this? http://fp.vendaria.com/vpop/VpopViewer. ... &pf=t&fr=t

Zilla - I don't, but maybe Phil is onto something here. I need to go to HD anyway. If that seal has enough angle on it, it may work... I could do many bronco lift gates with that!

Viper, that is a crazy good idea. I've been trying to figure out how to seal that up better without putting holes in my tailgate. You must be smart or something.

I bought the garage door seal stuff. It will not cover the gap because the seal has maybe a 60 deg bend in it. So anyone in springs need it?

I ordered the tallest Rubber Bulb seal from Mcmaster along with some gas springs for my trucks topper gate.

I used it and it worked pretty good. It may have to relax in the sun a little.

Well, when i made my soft doors, the upholstery lady put more material around my frames than I expected. So i have 3/8" rubber between the bed and my top to make the doors fit. That's probably why it won't work for me.
