Tailgate Seal

I searched but didn't find anything on a tailgate seal. This is what I am talking about. I got one from Cabela's but haven't installed it yet. Any thoughts?

TIA

works great paid $17 canadian

 

I've been looking into this as well. Looks like different truck beds are finnicky in different ways. If I remember correctly I don't think that one fits a Taco properly.. I believe it only works for ford and GM trucks?.. Can't remember for sure though. I am probably going to use some weather seal or door hinge crap. Post updates in this thread about any attempts you make, I'd love to get a dialogue going on this topic!

 

Only pic I have... Only advice I can give is remove tailgate for easier application I regret not taking mine off (OCD)

 

I think Crom did his

Wow looks great! How's the seal? Have you used it enough to know how well it keeps water dirt and insects out of your bed?

 

works great keeps my box dry makes it slightly harder to close the tailgate but thats cause its creating a seal by compressing the foam

I actually have the kit from my last truck that I didn't install. I will try to get it installed this weekend and let you all know how it goes.

 

I bought some closed cell foam to put a seal around the vertical edge, unfortunately I haven't installed it. I have a shell so having the extra seal should help to keep water out.
