I’m having trouble finding this seal it goes at the back of the hightop above the tailgate I’ve tried seals direct and had no joy. It’s an autosleeper if that makes a difference?

Hightop seal
Hi,
I’m having trouble finding this seal it goes at the back of the hightop above the tailgate I’ve tried seals direct and had no joy. It’s an autosleeper if that makes a difference?

Re: Hightop seal
Not sure you will find one.
You could use a suitable sized U rubber.
I removed mine, it was only covering the rusted pop rivets. Filled the gap/holes with adhesive, finished off with sealant and then painted. Did that about 10+ years ago and had no problems.

Hi kentishvanman,
Thanks for the reply, I came to your conclusion last night after what seemed like days (couple of hours) searching! I’ve gone for the closest match I could find and its only Out by a couple of mm so hopefully do the job. I only had one rivet left the rest had rusted away
I’m glad yours is still going strong 10 years later. Thanks again.
