Does anyone have the metal/rubber strip that goes between the bumper and rear body crossmember, ideally in decent condition?

Mine has split along the length of it and it's not repairable -

Thanks

Just looking at the photo to say that my strip has never had a rubber piece attached.
Should there be or did LR change the design. Taking it this is the strip along the inside of the rear door and buts up against the frame seal. Don't mind being corrected if wrong

cheers

No, that should just be a 2inch wide stip that acts like a carpet strip.

What I have photographed is the plastic/rubbery strip riveted to the rear body crossmember and fills the gap between it and the bumper, which also sits slightly lower so it generally makes it all look much better!

If you leave this item off then it greatly reduces the amount of rot you get.

It allows the crossmember and bumper area to easily be washed out and quickly dry out too.

Worth considering
