Check out the posting on the BB by Jerry Vikla titled Flush factory look hatch seal in 30 minutes. They are not all rubber, but they sure do look like they would be pretty water tight. They would lend themselves to the flat panels of the deck. If you want some of the pictures mentioned e-mail me and I can forward them to you.
