    I think the tailgate should have a rubber strip on the tailgate where the window rolls down into. I've searched around and realized I'm not sure what the specific part/part number would be. Anyone have any idea?

    Hi Chief

    From what I've found out, there is no one making
    a tailgate seal set..
    One guy on the Galaxie forum used some rubber from
    Napa for door seals can't remember the part number, but
    when I was checking Napa had changed codes and maybe
    even manufactureres. It was there house brand...
    Best

    Although I don't know what it is supposed to look like, I'm thinking it's probably a wedge shape with the thick part at the tailgate and the tapering edge on the window. Guess I can hit NAPA and see what they have.
    Dennis Carpenter doesn't have anything either, and I guess if they don't no one does.

    maybe a long piece of felt..
