I just used 1/4" thick stick-on stuff from McMaster-Carr.
@chirmstream also makes taillight to body gaskets, just PM him. Here's my review on them https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generati...eview-1167125/

I believe the factory ones are NLA but there are a couple places that sell reproductions. Phill's and one other place I can't remember right off. https://www.ebay.com/itm/265280375357

I've heard complaints about the ones from Phill's being too thick, but I've used them with good results.
Yeah I knew about Phils but $$$. I'm cheap and if the tape would work ...
