Re: The "In over my head" build thread

Then I wanted to get the carpet strips in place as well as the tailgate seal.

Everything looked good to me except the gap seems excessive between the tailgate and the seal with the gate closed...The gate seals well on the vertical side areas, but in the middle on the horizontal it's almost like the tailgate is bowed. See the below pic. Is this normal?
