How would you replace the seal lip? would you use a strip of metal? or is there a piece that I can buy as a replacement? Thanks Guys

Ive used a few different patch panels and I would suggest that you use the TRI PLUS patch panels. The reason I say that is because they tend to fit more to the Stock sheet metal than other that I have used. Im sure someone will disagree but that is what I have found to work the best for me. Take a close look at the sheet metal where it goes just past that Seal Strip in the cab, you might find that you need to replace the inside rocker as well. Good luck with your Project.
