Oracle flush mount taillight seal fix

[0duksgvn]

Love em or hate em I have the Oracle flush mount taillights on my gladiator. However one thing I noticed about them that didnt sit right with me about them was the lack of sealing around the edge that meets the body. This method isn't groundbreaking by any means and I'm probably not the first to do it, but I thought I'd share. I grabbed some rubber seal from good ol' Amazon-Rubber Edge Trim U Channel Edge Trim Sheet Metal Edge Guard Protector, Self-Adhesive EPDM Seal Strip for Panels, Car Doors, Steel Plates, Hatches, Table Corners, Fit 1/16"(1.6mm), 10Ft Length https://a.co/d/bWyoxye and placed it all around the taillights notching where necessary and I put the beginning and end of the strip at the bottoms. This seal has double sided tape on the inside which is pretty nice. Imo i think it looks a bit better and will help with moisture getting in, (I'll tackle the opening on the underside of the bed later ?). Maybe this is something Oracle can start implementing in the future?

Thanks I was looking for something like this. I complained to oracle and they just sent a video stating I installed the lights incorrectly. @ORACLElights

I love them but hate the price! They should come with that for the money they charge!

That looks great. Do you happen to have 1 more pic of where it runs along the tailgate? Just trying to see how you ended each end so that when I do it myself I'm a little prepared and don't have to guess as much.
