Rear hatch gasket

[Bomba]

Hi Members.

2018 TRD off road. The gasket that surrounds the rear hatch came loose, then got bunched up. I tried to tuck it back into place but it got crimped by having the door close on it several times. I kindo of ignored it for a while, and then I guess some water collected there and was unable to drain and now I have a rust problem.

So I need to fix this ASAP. Unfortunately, I'm on a bit of a budget. I'm going to use a wire brush and maybe some sandpaper to remove the rust. Then I was going to spray a little trem-clad.

I'd like to replace the gasket. Does anyone know what it's called or know the part number? Can I DIY or should I take it to my dealer (who I really don't like cause they always over-charge)? Any other tips?

Thanks so much

after a quick google search "4Runner Rear Hatch Seal"

I found:

Hatch Seal 67881-35061 | Toyota Parts

Hatch Seal - Toyota (67881-35061)

With regards if this is a DIY depends on your comfort level of working on your truck. This does not look too involved of a project.
