Sleeper to Cab Seal ???
I have searched in vain for a source for replacement rubber sleeper boot material.
Does anyone know of a source that sells this ?
I need the real stuff, not that accordian camper seal stuff.
This should come in a roll and be sold by the foot.
Surely, as many trucks as are out there with old school non-integral sleepers, somebody somewhere sells this stuff; maybe I am not searching with the right name.
Thanks for reading.
On EDIT: I have just found a post in a Mack forum that may make me abandon the purpose-made boot material altogether, in that it is impossible to find and ridiculously expensive when you do find it, and does not stand up long before it must be replaced again.
This guy, who seems to know what he is talking about, has been using very high quality tarp material instead.
He says the tarp material stands up to the elements much better/longer, is far more flexible, is easier to handle/install, and is much less expensive.
I believe I will give the tarp material a try.
It is the same stuff those rolling accordian flat-bed covers are made of.
We don't have much else anywhere close around here, but we do have a Mennonite-owned custom truck tarp, tent, and awning shop nearby.
