okay so it is basicaly a universal fit?

if you look at the TACO stuff, they should have a match for your molding. Installing the molding can be ignorant depending on the molding you have. We used to use a big drum full of hot water to make it more pliable. MAde the job a lot easier.

[Chris E]

Sorry, TACO is The Aftermarket COmpany. There products were sold by Land and Sea, not sure if they still are though.

Cant you get a new rub strip right from checkmate?
Chris E. is right on the install, put it in some really hot water and it goes lots easier.

I replaced my rubber rub rail this past summer. I got it from Checkmate. He said they had plenty in stock. It went in easy. I let it warm up in the sun for a while so it was good and soft. I cleaned the track with a wire brush and a pick tool removing any old crud. I Used dish washing liquid to lube the track and worked my way around by slipping the top in first and helping the bottom in with a big dull flat blade screw driver. Finished the job by tapping all the way around the face with a rubber hammer so it will expand. You need a partner for this job. Holding some tension on the rubber really helped make it slip in the track. Call Checkmate at1-419-562-3881
