Trim for dovetail

[FP Forged]

So your new order, the smaller stuff, is style 4?

Yes and while it does work well and stay on tight it's a little bulky. I ended up going with some thinner rubber stuff instead of the heavy duty stuff. The thick stuff is nice but it flares out at the edges where I'm sure debris would collect. With the thin rubber it pinches the bedside better. It's this stuff

I actually used something similar to that. When I first did my dovetail I used some door edge trim from O'Reilly's but it didn't hold up very long. I'm going to try the heavy duty stuff to get more longevity.

Did you use any silicone or anything to attach this? I'm about to order this thinner stuff and just want to see if I need anything else.

I can't use that thin stuff, doesn't fit over the things that are linexd

I did, it stays pretty well, but just to be safe I added some

I bought the thinnest model and it fit very snug on it's own.

So you're happy with the smaller stuff you ordered? I was waiting to hear how it went for you before ordering.

The link just takes you to the page with a bunch of different options.

I bought the smaller one that was discussed up top, but curious as to which one you bought.

Weird. It's the part number 8451A11 style #6. It measures 1/64-3/64
