kramttocs Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I may have asked this before but can't recall for sure. The linkage in the tailgate originally had some foam around them. I assume this was for anti-rattling but that's just a guess. Now that stuff just falls apart. Any clever suggestions on something to replace it with? Haven't found any pipe insulation that goes that small with the ID. I've tried a handful of things but none of them worked out all that well.

Gary Lewis Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 What about foam tape? Pull off the protective strip, fold it over the linkage, and stick it to itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kramttocs Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Me? A simple idea???? MARK ONE UP FOR ME!!!!! Haha I won't even go into some of the messy, complicated things I tried. Quickly (but not quickly enough) got to the point where I realized I was spending way more time on something trivial than I should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I was going to say I don't hear the chains rattling on my truck and I use bike inner tube cut and fitted over the chains. Then went over the post and it is not the chains that rattle Vacuum hose over the rods? Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
