In preparation for adding a trim panel over the liftgate, I reattached this seal. Originally, it was siliconed on the outside, but it gets pinched in the hinge (pushing the liftgate down against the tailgate) and its inside flange didn't lie flat against the body. So I'm moving the top section down against the liftgate so the flange goes up, and will be covered by the new trim piece. I'm using RightStuff and tool storage magnet bars to hold the seal until the RS sets up.
