Rambox and multifunction tailgate gaps

[ram1500dude]

Has anyone found a reasonably priced solution to covering 1" gaps between tailgate and ramboxes?

I am assuming you mean the gaps between the tailgate and the rest of the bed when the tailgate is up?

I went to home depot and grabbed a roll of really thick weather stripping, something like this:

Frost King 1-1/4 in. x 7/16 in. x 10 ft. Black High-Density Rubber Foam Weatherstrip Tape

Frost King 1-1/4 in. x 7/16 in. x 10 ft. Black High-Density Rubber Foam Weatherstrip Tape R516H - The Home Depot

The Thermwell Products Co. Inc. 1-1/4 in. x 7/16 in. x 10 ft. Black High-Density Rubber Foam Weatherstrip Tape delivers a resilient, long-lasting foam rubber seal for use on windows, doors and even cars

www.homedepot.com

I then used a flashlight ( if you have a tonneau cover too) to see where light was coming out and putting the weatherstripping there to fill the gaps. Seems to be working pretty good a year in.

I used the weather stripping that came with my tonneau cover. I'm thinking about doing something different, but it works pretty well...

There is some foam weatherstripping that fits perfect in that gap.

Thanks Smon. That definitely looks like it would work better than my ghetto setup. A link would have been more helpful than a pic though
