Wow don't have a seal that looks like that. Perhaps they changed up that does happen.
Tailgate seal is a whole different animal.
There is a thread on here that show the different brands people have used with results
Totally two different seals. The one with our cover is only for the balk head cross member. Not really a seal but a paint protector.
The one for the tailgate is rubber and is for the cracks (openings) on each side of the tailgate and bottom.
Cheers
Leave it on. I run it through a touch free pressure wash. No problems except water through rear tailgate on each side. Still haven't put rear seals on :giggle:
