I know this has been discussed before but wonder what current consensus it. I stripped out the seam sealer and urethane foam that fills the cavity near the tail lights at the rear of the quarter panels yesterday. Happy to say everything looks pristine inside. That cavity looks like a serious mud catcher and given that there are 3 miles of dirt road between my house and pavement, I'm not comfortable leaving it open. I'm thinking of filling it with Evercoat Sealant Foam after epoxy primer and then sealing like the factory did. Any better options?

Thanks Mark! I think I'll order a set before making any final decisions (still plenty of time). Sounds like they seal that area better than I thought. I wonder how well bed liner would stick to them. Would be nice to spray them to match the rest of the underbelly.

Some moisture probably gets in there and allowing them to vent around the edges is probably best. I am not sure how 914 Rubber liners install. Mine use clips at the bottom and they snap in place. |

Mine use clips at the bottom and they snap in place. Agreed. I was thinking about spraying them with tinted Raptor before installing so they match the wheel wells but not to seal them in place. Looks like the 914rubber liners attach the same way. |
