Anyone put a weather strip or seal on the bed rails to protect the paint before installing hard top or soft top?

Ours has the factory seal. Still had some marks when it was removed, but it had been on for 25+ years.

You might consider ordering some rubber strips from mcmaster. That would both protect and seal.

I needed some to space the top away from the bedrails so my soft doors would fit. I ordered 1/4" thick, but you'd go with much thinner. And the softer stuff will crush better.

would camper seal tape work ?? Has a peel back adhesive on one side, made out of foam rubber. Any RV place would have it.

watch out using neoprene, I have used it and it messes with the crush factor. The doors won't seal & you will have gaps all over the place. Get some really soft rubber or buy the OEM ones from JBG
