How does that seal attach to the body ? - do you need to drill holes or is it peel and stick ?

Also if you can, could we see the profile of the seal you used.

Thanks JON


Hi Jon,
My sincere appolgies for not responding earlier (I didn't realise I didn;t have notify of replies turned on so I missed yoru post :( ).

Here are the pics as requested. The seal on the tailgate is a stick on. The one on the body fits over the lip on the tub.
It's working perfectly and we haven't had any dust in the tray since. When i was at ARB last week getting the dual battery tray I mentioend the seals and they checked it out and were very impressed. You can see where the seal touches the body that its clean paint and no dust at all :)
