Good evening.

I bought a Gator ETX Soft Tri-fold bed last year. For my birthday, my wife got me a spray-in bed line. I'm new to being a truck owner, so when they did the spray liner, they took the bulkhead seal off. Is there an equitable foam piece I can utilize in it's place?

Thank you all.

You can always try to find weatherstripping from Home Depot or a store like that. I did that with my last truck and it worked pretty good. If you want exact contact the manufacturer and try to get a replacement seal. Hope this helps.

You can get expanding foam seal on a roll at the local hardware store. It will be spec'd by how much it will expand. I used some that was about 1/2" thick on the roll and would expand to 2" on my hot rod.

My Gator did come with a foam bulkhead seal, but when they sprayed, they removed it. Just trying to find a replacement. I can definitely look at home depot to see if something works for it.

Ah, got it. I think I searched out a replacement seal that had the proper angles that match up to the cover, so when compressed it slopes toward the front so the water drains outside the bed. I don't recall though, but check the gator site, they may have a replacement you can buy. The OEM has a shape that is higher toward the inside of the bed, so when the cover sits on it there is a higher lip toward the bed, and lower toward the cab. If gator doesn't offer it, I think I saw something similar, but it's been several years so don't remember exactly.
