    The young guy up Forbes way bought one of those skins I think. Was Miles his name? Username V6hqute or something like that.

    Dads been looking for a new tailgate for his van after his original was replaced about 3 years ago, the one on it currently I'm not sure if it is the old Rares stock or not but was told it was made in Taiwan. Since it was fitted he has complained that it doesn't fit right (does not complete the seal). This is ok for a ute but for a van it lets the exhaust fumes in.

    If this new Rares one fits as per original, we'll definitely be getting one. Let us know how it fits

    every van i have looked at has a gap between the tailgate and body at the bottom so maybe someone with an original van can have a look at theirs and see if there is a gap?

    Between the seal and the body? Mines got all original panels and no gaps. I grew up on a dirt road with the van as my first car and never had any dust or fume problems. Tight as a drum.
