What i did was cleaned the plastic and put down some marine glue and then put the weather seal self stick tape on. It provides a better all around seal.





i just did this. used the 7/16 thick and i think 1" wide. makes the hatch sit a little higher and actually compress on the gasket now instead of having a little play. thanks for the idea!

and if anyone is wondering, it takes two 10ft bags and pretty much and entire tube of glue.
