Anybody got a solution to this? I would like to fill the corners of my tailgate. Welding would be hard to grind, I was thinking seam seal? The gap on two of the corners are sorta wide.

Re: Tailgate clean up

Left mine, needs a place for condensation and rain water to drain. some places like that I just accept that is how they are. Now if you are going for a show quality, weld it up and get out the Dremel with the tiny pointed grinding wheels. Sealant will work for a while but eventually cracks, moves, etc. and you have a paint issue.
