Temporarily place it on the bed, (masking tape),put a flashlight in the bed, shut the tailgate and and look at the gap. it will do absolutely nothing to seal it there . It's not what I think, It's what I know. nothing is 100% but we are talking about a Maverick, right?
I just noticed the illustration from Cabelas shows it mounted on the bed, not the gate. That would not work on the Maverick ! The type of seal might work fine but it has to go on the tailgate.
That’s the size of mine. Glad you found it. That kit from Cabela’s above looks pretty good too. I see it has the 3m tape but to be honest weatherstrip glue from 3m would work great on the one from Steele.
You're welcome. I haul crap at times but I also haul music equipment and luggage that I like to keep clean. As for the Escape question. Been there, done that. I like pickups (see my avatar)
ordered these from BLueOvalindustries via ebay and installed last week. Fit is as expected, all hardware included. I had to pay Tax :( but it was quick shipping.
