Default Gasket For Rocker Installation

I plan to install my PCS Rocker Knockers tomorrow. I would like to put some type of gasket to prevent dirt/rocks getting trapped in between the rails and the Jeep. Can anyone recommend a product that I can easily get at the local hardware store that serves this purpose? Single-sided tape, assume the seal will need to be replaced overtime.

I know that Tough Stuff makes something like it, but I would like to get this done tomorrow.

Thanks!

PSC makes a gasket that seems reasonable in price that would
be exact size and would hold up for the long run.
It unfortunately would take a couple of days to get to you.

At this point, if you don't want to order the PSC liner and wait, I would run a good thick bead of silicone sealant or a bath tub caulking. I would run a bead on the body armor just in from the edge, then carefully set it in place and tighten it. Then simply clean off any that squeezes out.

on my TJ old when we installed the Rockers we just picked up a good old rubber tire inner tube and cut it to fit and used a little silicone worked out perfect..

What about Pond Liner from the Home Depot? Or maybe even the liners used for shower pans? i've been eye ballin these items for just this purpose, even before i had my JK, knowing i would be eventually wanting to do the rockers. Might be worth checking out...
