Tailgate seal

Post by fazzer »

After starting strip down of my autohomes interior to freshen it up I noticed where tailgate seal mounts to body the top lip is rotton,is there such a repair panel I can make one myself but the curve on the ends would be a problem.

I asked exactly the same question as part of mine is bad. Unfortunately no repair piece is available. Need to make a repair out of some old panels.

If you are talking about the channel the seal sits in above the rear valance then that is made up from 2 separate panels , the lower channel lip is part of the crossmember which is not available , the top lip which curves up at the ends is part of the rear boot area, this is still available . part number 251 598 287.
