This is the reason why i didn't get a tail tidy and went for the undertray. Why the hell do they make them with the gaps? Surely its just as easy to make them properly than not .. If your only worried about water getting in there you could always use clear silicon to fill the gap!! Apart from that, i suppose you could coverer from the inside with some black plastic or something glued/taped in place!!

Wonder what others have done, is there actually one they make that fits properly??

I can't see any gap in the picture, but you could use a roll of draught excluder if the gap is not too big.

cant see the gap....

because the shovel has been removed, the undertay has nothing to fit into. leaving a gap revealing the screws that attatch the tailtidy to the framework underneath.

was thinking of gaffa taping it up till i can think of something to do to it
