Possible weatherstrip replacement

Post by todds112 »

Got a catalog from Steele Rubber Products. Item #70-0219-73 sure looks similar. I measured what I removed from the tailgate and the dimensions seem to match pretty close. Not sure if anyone else has tried this one yet.

Todd, The problem is going to be the length on the middle piece it's just to short. I found one that was the same as the factory but it was just wider. I will post pic's tomorrow. It seals to back so tight I can fill the back with water and it doesn't drain until I open the back door. I post the model number some time back I'll see if I can find it.
