Cargo light seal.

I went to dealer to purchase the seal between cargo lamp and body, I was informed I have to buy the whole thing for $139. It is leaking into cab, any ideas? Thanks

Find a thin piece of foam rubber and make your own or run a bead of silicone around it before you put it on.

do not use silicone, the acids in it make sheetmetal rust, you use permatex right stuff or urethane sealer

there is no place out there that i know of that makes the gaskets separate and unfortunately that year uses the big light with high mount brake so you are right with the $139, what hiredgun8 says is about all you can do for a reasonable price, there are places online to get the foam material or you may find it at a local paint/body supply
