Colorado 2014 Tub leaks water and dust in big volumes!

Hi Barry,

Does this kit just fit around the tail gate area or does it also go around the top rim of the tub ?

Hi Darrell, I have a 2013 RG and took it up to the Cape and despite putting air-conditioning rubber to the tail gate gap, I still had a lot of dust coming in thru the side and also from the gaps between the canopy and tail gate. I had to run insulating tape on the outside each time I began my daily travels. It helped but ... Something I have to live with. Will try the rubber again like you said. Thanks for the advice....
ps. How are you finding the power & torque of the series 2?

Hi con, My 2012 Colorado is 5 speed manual,towing a jayco silverline, about 2900 tonne loaded, I find it tows the van reasonably easy, as long as I keep the revs in the motors torque band, eg 1800 to 2800 revs. Tow at 90 k per hour in 4 gear no trouble, nice amount of torque. heaps of power and torque without the van behind.
Returning 16 litres per 100 klicks loaded, I,m happy with the collie
Darrell

Thanks for the help fella's

I went to ARB in Tamworth this morning and asked them for the kit to seal the tailgate and the thought I was mad. They had never heard of one.

I had thought of a rubber seal like the car doors, but I will give Brown and Davis a ring and see if they can help.

For around $65 it would be worth a try.

Once again thanks for your thoughts.

Silly me........ it's a PH in Victoria today.

Will give them a ring tomorrow when they have a hangover. LOL

I use a length of concrete expansion foam 70mmx10mm, can be bought in 6m rolls for about $5.00 from Bunnings, just cut to length and close into the gap, works a treat. Throw away after each trip and cut a new length when you are going into dusty conditions again.

I finally installed the rubber kit a couple of days ago and will give it a week or so and let you know if the problem as been eliminated or reduced.
