Default Rear hatch hinge to body mounting gasket.

I have lost the gaskets for the rear hatch and I looked up art number and gm wants like 25 bucks each for them.

So anyone ever make some before? Or have any idea what would make a good gasket to replicate these.

Im thinking they were pretty thin rubbery material.
Maybe a bike tire tube would work.

Me? I'd get a small sheet of black dense foam rubber (with sticky on one side) and cut the pattern to fit. The sticky will hold it in place.

Yeah but I don't want it too thick. It was really thin, just a barrier I thought about foam but feel its a bit thick. It might work not sure yet.

That is a good idea. You can double it up if one is too thin.

I cut mine from a piece if 1/32" gasket material, available at any auto parts store. It is flush with the halo bar when closed.
