my bed is cut...now what can i trim my sheetmetal edges with?
i have seen people use pinch mold rubber.... like what you would see in hatchbacks and/or door openings. the problem is i cant find anything online to order. and i dont know what make and model will give me a good fit. i know there is at least 1 person who can point me in the right direction....or is this a junkyard find?

Why not use some black rubber hose slit down the middle and fit it over the cut metal..
I hope I make sense..

actually that's a great idea. i saw that on "Trucks!" where they used hose to edge a crossmember hole on the ranger/mazda they are working on. i actually checked into that yesterday at a parts store, but im not sure how it would look. i was hoping someone could tell me what kind of car or truck has the perfect trim so i could look it up and order it. so far, dodge neon pinch weld could work but not sure. still need more ideas

LAPS should have it on the aisle with all the plastic chrome, stickers, lighted shift knobs, and floor mats...
