I bought this 89 renger that came with a shell. I was thinking of getting rid of it, but I might as well take advantage and make the back sleepable for nice camping trips with the lady. Anyways, I've got a rew things to fix beforehand:
The top of the tailgate had a rubber sort of seal or gasket on it that was just ripping off, so I decided to handle it. I want to put it back in as I feel the camper was meant to function with it, but I need advice on how to attach it. I'll include a pic. Maybe some carpet/double stick tape after super gluing the thing back together? There seems to be this hardened yellow filler or adhesive that apparently weakened over time. Can anyone tell what it is?
Also, a window on the side of it is missing. Idk if I should just replace it with plexi or try to source some actual glass. An auto glass place wouldn't touch it because they said campers windows are difficult to fix.
Lmk if y'all have any experience with this
