Default Tailgate edge

Has anyone found a replacement for the plastic tailgate edge on these? Ford kind-of wussed out on this awesome well engineered piece of... technology. It's a wonder mine hasn't blown off going down the raod

A little dab of silicone under the plastic will do the job. Tape it down until the silicone cures.

I had a Detroit Diesel 8V92TA in a KW dump truck in 1980. That sucker would put out 425 hp but would never out pull a CAT.
