tailgate handle rubber part

13 years of Portuguese sun left the rubber trim of the tailgate handle like this



it seems that LR doesn't sell a rubber replacement so I had to do some adapting...
handle removed, minor rust on bolts and dust on micro-switches, cleaned and lubed the springs


cut the rubber trim so it fits on the inside of the handle


the rubber is the same kind as used in aluminium windows to fit the glass and I just glued it to the cut-out edge of the old rubber


done!!!

Nice job baptista, looks better than the original ever did

mmmm very nice job

awesome job, looks really neat

Looks well ,

thanks,
at first I thought that the rubber was to big but after fitting it looked pretty good.
