The OEM seal had 3 holes for the machine screw to pass through to the frame

I used my gasket maker kit (various size punches) and punched the access holes in the rubber seal.

The old hardware

The new stainless steel fender washer and pan head 1/4 inch machine screw. They’re nowhere identical to the origibal hardware but will do the trick!

The OEM rubber bushing fit in the hole in the glass, probably to make sure the machine screw doesn’t touch the glass. The white plastic spacer should do the same job. It is longer than the rubber spacer so I cut all three down

And after fighting with the glass, new seal and frame. It is all assembled ready to install into the tailgate
