    Hello!

    just recently bought an ATC camper shell for my Tacoma with a 5’ bed. The shell fits perfectly but the weather seal on the rear door of the shell that should lap over the tailgate is missing. I’ve looked online for seals for this but I’m not sure what I’m looking for. I’m including some photos of the cross section of the rear door bottom where I assume the seal should attach. The gap from the rear door to the tailgate is about 1”. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    Here are some pictures of the gap from the shell door to the tailgate.

    I'm not familiar with ATC shells, but that looks like the wrong shell for that truck. The door should come down almost to the tailgate then there's usually a hard plastic piece that overlaps a bit with a rubber seal of some sort under it (varies by manufacturer). When you're looking along the bottom edge, are there some aluminum rivets or holes that might be from rivets?

    I had a couple of site bookmarked that sold shell parts but covid apparently killed them too as that's when they disappeared (since some localities draconian measures killed off small businesses with tight margins- parts for these things tend to be hard to find and expensive because it's not a large market).

    Also, I'm not sure where in Missouri you are, but just call up an ATC dealer and provide them with the serial number or model from the inside of the shell if it has one.
