Weatherproofing, sharp edge covering, and rubber trim seals! Anyone done this yet?

[tmeyer3]

On many of my vehicles, especially off-road ones, I've done products like this around everything that opens: doors, hood (frunk in this case), tailgates, etc. They also work very nicely for edge dulling and preventing water egress. With proper fitting and installation with the right product, I've used boat hatch seals to make my Jeep's doors water proof up to the window seam. Has anyone tried this, yet? Or is the CT sufficiently sealed that they aren't necessary?

I realize that most of the active CT owners are busy adding shiny wraps and fretting over finger prints, and no, these don't look particularly good but are highly functional. Just as a bit of background on me, I'm not the type to care about finger prints, scratches, and dings on the outside of my trucks, but I do like to keep the inside clean and free of dust/water/mud when I can!

I know from time to time I like to jump off a tailgate. In this case go off straight off the back. The corners are quite an interesting item to look at before you jump. Like really make sure everyone while sober sees those.

Ok...? I'm not getting it if that was a reference to something? Fill me in!

Just have a great time and watch out for these guys. They could end the day if not careful vs. the center of gate is rounded plastic stuff.

Ah, I see. Yes those are some nice flesh scrapers. I think I will be adding these seals to my CT just to soften these up a bit at minimum. Will probably look dumb, but eh.

Yep, one of my kids already poked herself pretty good whilst trying to jump up into the bed. If OP figures out a decent solution, please post pictures and instructions. I’m interested!

I promise to never let the CT be used as a playground, outdoor stage or as a diving board, so help….give me my CyberTruck!

I have a feeling Cybetruck 1.5 or 2.0 will have smoother seams. I do love the look, but there are some sketchy seams/corners.
