Gasket. Should only set you back about $10.

O.K. That's one vote for gasket, one for sealant. Before I remove the dang thing out at my place in the sticks, I'll need a tie breaker.
Buy both before you begin the job, and return the unused materials after you are done. Not much of a tie breaker is it? ;o)

Not too bad. I have all kinds of good sealant, and I try to avoid AutoBone® when I can.
O.K., 1 for gasket
1 for gasket maker:^) Still a tie!
Earle's tip for assemblies like this: Use a nut driver, not a wrench or socket.

My Haynes book says that the metal covers dont have gaskets and the gasket for the plastic ones may not be available .
How true!
Thanks all!
I don't have a TCM for it yet and needed to do something about it pretty soon. Looks like I will be installing her Tuffy trunk this weekend instead.
Time for a new thread about the tank...
