[QUOTE="dhollist, post: 838114, member: 15704"] Is there any appetite for a kit that would include all of the correct rubber plugs to seal all of the rocker panel holes properly, replacing the relatively ineffective tape squares? The kit would consist of all 28 round and oval rubber plugs (5 different part numbers) for a Super Crew, a few less pieces for Super or Regular Cab trucks. I spent way too much time finding plugs that fit properly, but the result is quite good IMHO. As you can see from the pictures, my rocker panels are now fully sealed except for the drains and the cutouts behind the running board brackets. I also coated the rockers inside and out with LPS heavy duty rust inhibitor, but you could use Fluid Film, Cosmoline Weathershed, or any rust inhibitor or undercoating spray you prefer. The end result is that I was able to seal my rocker panels to keep salt and water out, and I think everyone with an 2009-2014 Raptor (or even a standard F-150) would benefit from this easy upgrade. Cost is yet to be finalized, but I'm trying to keep it to $99.00 including shipping (USPS priority mail). This is just an idea at this point, but it took a fair amount of time to find all of the correct size plugs, and if someone had previously offered all of the right parts as a kit, I would have saved a lot of time. Thoughts? [ATTACH]61244.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]61245.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]61246.vB[/ATTACH] All the best, Dave [/QUOTE]
