Is your tailgate seal like this?

[Colstroid]

Hi all,

My tailgate seal has a gap of about an inch at the bottom. Maybe it's for drainage? It's an easy fix to buy a new seal but keen to know if anyone else has the same?

Its going to let a lot of heat out of the van in the winter and after doing all the insulation to a high standard it seems bit odd to have a big gap open to the elements.

What's your thoughts?

I think there’s been a revision between whole and split seals - I can’t remember which is current.

You just need to pull the seal away from the body and pull it round a bit, and then it’ll meet in the middle again.

@Colstroid
Mine has no gap & has been carpeted like yours.

Whoever refitted the seal didn’t stretch it quite enough.
You just need to remove it one side at a time and gently stretch it a bit more as you refit it.
