Where would I get the tailgate seal to fill gap between tailgate and body. Bought some when I first purchased truck and want to redo it, but can't find receipt.
Have bought from 2 different suppliers, both sent the Extang product and both were the same thing. Thinner and narrower and on package it says not for 2019/20 Ford Rangers. Any ideas?
Thanks Rob

When I had my f150 prior to the ranger I bought mine thru peragon.Com as part of my package. They don't make a cover for our rangers at this time but if you call them they may sell you the bed seal. I took mine out of my f150, I cleaned the adhesive off and I plan to simply cut it down to fit my bed width. I had taken it off prior to trading my f150, the adhesive was coming off the sprayed in liner (I got dirt and mulch under it) and I decided to keep it when I traded.

The extant 1140 seal is the stuff I ordered from two suppliers, sent both back. Not the same width or thickness/profile I received 4 months ago. Seems they changed the product. And packaging says not for Rangers. Does not seem thick enough to fill gap.

Don't forget to seal up the gap between the plastic bed protectors and the tailgate too. I was getting a lot of dust in the bed from driving gravel roads and realized that is a pretty big gap. I put a piece of seal in there so I'm hoping that will help a great deal. I noticed in the photos on the above seal that it shows a piece stuck there as well.

Well it got here and I installed it a couple of days ago. After getting it installed and noting several areas still open to dirt and water I pealed it off and sent it back to Amazon. A very poor product in my opinion.
