Awesome! Can’t wait to see how it turns out!

Randomly found a tube of clear silicone yesterday and almost tried to use it... glad I didn’t.

LOL!! Been meaning to do this for a long time and finally ordered up some foam welt that I think should work but wanted to make sure first before posting up about it here. I'll post up as soon as I can :)

Okay, so the welting that I got WORKED and really really well. I specifically got something that could be tucked in between the fender and body and not need any kind of adhesive. So far so good but I need to do a bit more testing to see if it'll actually stay in place long term. I think it should but I want to make sure before recommending it. Here's what it looks like installed.

Check it out - these are rocks that I purposefully threw on to of the gap. They are literally sitting on top of the welt.

And, with a puff, I was able to blow them all off :thumb:

A video on what to get and how to install it is coming soon :yup:

This looks great, and presumably does the trick. I’m sure I speak for more than just myself when I say that I’m already really tired of picking rocks and other small things out of this gap!! Thanks for posting Eddie! Looking forward to the write up! [emoji1303]
