1985 Mustang Rear Hatch Trim Seal

[ddx77]

I pulled my rear hatch trim off today to repaint it. I noticed it has some sort seal or gasket on it.

Is this something I can replace or has anyone done something different with it.

Thanks
Drew

Here are a couple of pictures but not sure you can really tell what it is.






Sorry for the double post, a member pointed out that the first one wasn’t working.

I am not aware of any replacements for the seal/gasket in the trim. I am not 100% on this, but I believe this might be an anti-rattle addition to the trim or possibly a way to prevent water/dirt/debris from collecting inside the trim. I have removed seriously damaged pieces from trim in the past and installed the trim with no ill effects. I personally wouldn't be too concerned over it. Good Luck!

Okay, thank you.

Yeah is think it gone past it’s limits of keeping debris out of the window track. Vacuumed a bunch of stuff out of it.
