Bridging a gap?

[silvrzuki77]

Need help with a clean way to bridge the fender and body gap?
Thanks!

Put a weather "weld" strip in, like the rubber stripping between a VW bug fender and the body, you can get rolls at a body shop or probably a glass shop, just flat stock with a bead on it, like that used in upholstery on a hem.

That's pretty rough, might just use bondo, sand and paint too.

Maybe some angle aluminum. Would make a cleaner line where is matches up.

Do you have a build thread on this trailer?

I agree silicone the crap out of it and screw the aluminum strip in.

let it cure then tape line above the cut but with the fender line and bed line to look like a fender flare.

I would go to Lowes/Homedepot. Get a tube of roof tar http://www.lowes.com/pd_11818-29-2172-9-66_4294934213__?productId=3009627&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&facetInfo= Seal/fill the gap, then tape a line one or two inches up on the body and spray it with undercoating or bed liner. Making a nice fender flare looking area.

Sorry guys tapatalk for what ever reason just showed me people responded!

Boog2001 yes I do, its under UAV TT.

Thanks for the advice guys! I slapped the 35's under the trailer I might need to trim the fenders down more and then decide on a filller

Decosta18 bridging the gap is simple terms is dividing the relative thermal distance minus hydrogen ion couplers x the metric equivalent. Thermal expansion is negligible since no heat conduction is known 😜

Southpier... That is some great product! I dont have a lip on the exterior body. Its mostly flush with wood framing. So it eliminates me from using trim seal. Which suck cause they are nice

Don't use silicone! you will regret it. Use a polyurethane caulk.
