    Proper Tailgate Pieces Parts

    I am rebuilding an 88 tub which will have a tailgate full time instead of rear door. I'm not sure how to weatherstrip the opening and where the rubber blocks go. I also have looked through the parts manual and it appears that there are two different galvanized strips that go across the bottom of the tub opening. One says Station Wagon and the other is just there. If someone could send along pictures of an actual tailgated Rover I'd appreciate it. The manual isn't really clear.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    For what it's worth I have run my IIA as both as a hard top and as an open top with tailgate. The galvy strip originally mounted with th erear door made no difference to the fit of the tailgate.

        AHA!

        One simply must ask.....is the bottle half full...or half empty.

          In order to be a Rover owner you must have the attitude that the bottle is always half full.

              The bottle is half full but it is leaking so you'd better check the level every 500 miles.

                Ok...so..

                since the bottle is half full, would the liquid swirl clockwise if it was a NADA bottle?
