Tailgate rubber seal

Post by Bongoolagong » Wed Nov 14, 2012 10:52 am

The rubber seal around the rear door has perished causing the rear door to rattle. I've tried adjusting the catch but is still rattling annoyingly! #-o
Anyone know where I can get a replacement? Cheers Bongonauts =D>

are you sure your moving catch the right way

moving it out caused it to latch right as by pushing it in it was only on the emergecy first part of the catch

Be wary that any 2nd hand rubber seal (which could be upto 17 or 18 years old) is not going to be in peak condition. May be worth checking for other sources of rattle as well. Have you got both the corner bump stops present?

also winding the spare wheel up too tight pulls the floor down, loosen the wheel or remove it then try. #-o
