Re: tail gate question
as you said, To thick of a rubber grommet you may not be able to close the tailgate completely. I had to grind down the height of a pair I had that were for the hood of my 40 ford.

Re: tail gate question
the little rubber bumpers from a modern fuel door may work. some are solid rubber so they could be trimmed down to the thickness you want. they fit into a small hole as well.

Re: tail gate question
some foam tape on the vertical section of the box, in the bend area, may also work and not look unsightly if done well. like weatherstripping you can buy at home depot in different thickness. if you don't like it just peel it off.it will hold water though, like a sponge.

It squished down to 1/8”. Made the strips about an inch long. Works great! Don’t drive it in the rain, so not a problem! Posted via Mobile Device |
