Yeah I would have gone with the normal trim seal but the Gobi one has a rubber little bumper to keep the deflector from rubbing the paint off

Copy that!
I would call them, ask why would they refuse to sell you a replacement part that has failed after counting on them for a quality product!
Maybe you’ve tried, but that would be my approach.

I'll give this a try but the slot opening might be too big. Yeah it's definitely too big 1/4" opening... too big

How thick is the deflector?

I dont know for sure but it is probably like 5mm thick.
An option is putting a strip of the clear “bra” film under the wind deflector to protect the paint from the trim seal. That way any direct contact is not on the paint. I did this prior to installing my roof rack and it is working well.

Um clear bra won't stick to my raptor liner paint job

That seems a bit messed up for a $1300+ product ... and I own one too.
Maybe call back and ask again or of there is a replacement they recommend.
My light bar came with a cover and a few of the fin stabilizers to minimize wind noise and humming. Lost them somehow and the company sent me new replacements even though they are not listed on their web site for sale (at the time). Just had to call and ask.
Curious as to how this turns out based on previous comments and feedback on the Gobi cust services.

Guess I missed the part of the Raptor Liner somewhere? Still don't see it in this thread. But you're correct, it won't adhere to the any liner paint. Still a good option for others that will encounter this issue.

Ops sorry... It's on my signature. Got this mixed up with another thread.
But to update the rubber door seal I bought from Amazon worked perfect. It's higher quality than the original unit.
Left over piece:
The original unit: it was making a buzzing noise on the freeway which was driving me nuts

Glad you found your solution!

What are you guys using as a replacement for the Marine grade tape that Gobi supplies with the racks?
I got my rack used so the tape for under the wind deflector did not come with it, and ordering it might take a few years to get from Gobi so I went with a clear vinyl film from Amazon. Hopefully it will last for a long time. Applied it with soapy water with a squeegee for window tint that I had lying around to get the bubbles out, plus a heat gun for better application. I’ll probably get some Marine grade tape if this clear vinyl wrap fails. Looks good as I can’t tell its on there unless I look really close at the edges.
