Multifunction tailgate (split-tailgate) seal?

[Bourne2Shoot]

Looking for a seal for the multifunction tailgate. Was wondering if anyone had any luck.

Which part of the tailgate are you wanting to seal? There is a factory seal on the inside of the tailgate.

Yea, if you put a cover on, in my case, a ReTrax rolling cover, you end up with a large gap at the top where the barn doors hinge.
I purchased the ESI ultimate tailgate seal kit.
I just checked Amazon and the kit is still available. $32.95
It comes with many pieces so you can use whatever. I never used all of the pieces, mainly I just used the thick top pieces plus a few others.

The main issue with the Ramboxes are the two very large gaps at each upper end of the tailgate. I went with some weatherstripping to fill those gaps. The gap between the barn door sections isn't an issue because of the internal seal. It's not a perfect seal but I haven't ever noticed any water in that area. Then again I'm not usually hauling anything back there that is sensitive to moisture, if some water makes it in there.

Mikeru, yea that gap is huge. The kit I listed above has pieces for the gap. I also got the RamSeal ones, but my Retrax cover end pieces interfere with figment. I did get 2 pairs so it looks like I’ll be cutting them some how to be able to use them. I also have a BedRug so the dryer I can keep it, the better.
