    Tail light gasket

    So I need some new tail light gaskets for my GTX. There are no new ones available so I have tried to find material to make some out of. I ordered some neoprene sheets and they were just that full rubber sheets. I have looked all over for a foam/ spongy material like the stock ones, but can not find anything that will work.

    Does anyone know of a place or material I can use?

    Thank you

      We were discussing using my CNC to help make tailight gaskets over on fordfestiva. I could probably make wooden/plastic template to trace with a knife to cut gaskets out of sheet material. but I need an original or a pattern to work from

        I don't think I follow you? Sheet metal gaskets? I have my originals I even have a second set off of a spair pair of tail lights but they all leak.

          My CNC cuts wood. I was thinking of using it to make a wood template to lay onto your foam sheet, and then trace that with a razor knife to create a new gasket.

                I've got new ones for my GT (sedan model) from the local dealer. I would bet I could get a pair for the hatchback. Do you want me to make a phone call?

                  Larry the hatchback gaskets are NLA. Rocketman has a pattern from me and with get some made from it. Yes the sedan is still available.
