People with toppers

My TRD has the factory bed liner on the tailgate. Rear topper hatch has a rubber seal that rubs on the paint wearing it down on the tailgate. Any kind of clear cover or whatever I can stick on the tailgate where the rubbing is occuring?

 

Your imaginary TRD? Or have you neglected to update your profile?
It shouldn't rub your paint you may need to realign your topper.

 

a lot of people use the paint protection film for that sort of wear area.

if it's just a small area, something like this would work. i imagine there's a difference in the quality of the films of this no-name vs. name-brand film, but if you're only dealing with one spot...

Mine rubbed the paint, I put some clear paint protection on it. Tight seal means less / no water intrusion. Toppers are hard to seal, there are products available to help, a lot of threads on here that address this, do a search.

 

That clear gorilla tape is great for that
