I have nothing on the bottom edge, don't really need it.
Like I said before the side bits stop nearly all of the dust so I didn't bother with the bottom.
seal kit for a tailgate??

Please don't get me wrong it is a good idea.but just zoomed in on your Pic,
And it appears The bottom part of the tailgate where water and dust are most likely to enter,before getting three quarters of the way up the sides.there is evidence of dirt and crap.
That area is the most important area to seal.. Have you looked at the gap that is in there???
Don't get me wrong sealing the tub is a top idea.
But I'm less he can achieve 100% seal it is pointless.all you will do is promote rust
And I don't think anybody wants that!
Always keeping in mind guys that they are traditionally a work UTE.

I get no water ingress when washing the car, mind you I don't aim the hose in there directly.

The only water I get in the tub is on a really wet road after a lot of rain.
I get water coming in through the rear wheel arches somewhere under the tub lip, not heaps but enough to make it's way to the tailgate.
that's another reason why I haven't sealed the lower tailgate, to let the water drain out.

Yeah mate it has an angle all the way around. If you go into bunnings in the steel section, it's like 30 x 10 or something. Mine is still a work in progress, the seal design will stay but the steel areas you see in the pics will be changes to aluminium to reduce some weight. If you look at the pic you may be able to see that it's been designed so the centre section where the fridge and draw is can be rolled out so I can convert back to a ute quickly to carry something big if need be. It will all be painted black also once finished. My fridge slide can slide and twist also for better access to the fringe.
