RussBarnes Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 My 2022 came without rails, which was fine with me. However I would like to find a long piece of the rubber material used in the groove so I could fill both sides in. Does anyone have any leads? Somewhere I saw a Ford parts page with a number for it in bulk, but I lost the copy. Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Here is the OEM factory part. Good luck with trying to find long rubber strips. If you can find some strips of rubber insulation, maybe you can cut it to size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Ridley Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Is there an OEM rubber strip that runs the same length as the roof rails? What are you trying to do exactly? You can buy different types of rubber strips from Mc Master Carr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The groove for the rails is approximately 1-3/4" wide, but it also has a raised body panel that welds the roof and sides. Further complicating it are the rubber plugs that cover the holes to secure the roof rails. I have read about other owners experiencing leakage as age, car washes and time causes them to leak. I tried several industrial supply house's and some eBay sellers, but it's difficult to just buy about 20ft. I finally found individual 10' rolls, 1-9/16" wide which I plan to try installing next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussBarnes Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 Here is a photo from the front that shows the bumps from the holes in the rack track. There are others that have reported leakage from them. Wish there was a better width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
