rubber gaskets on cargo doors

I noticed my 5 foot door has the lower gasket missing. Must have fallen off the last trip cause it's been glued twice by me. Are these available anywhere or are they a FT only? It's 5 foot long on the bottom of the large cargo bay door.

It's a standard item - FT doesn't make gaskets.  You need to look at the cross-section of an existing gasket and you should be able to source from there.

Here is a topic on what was used for 2003; not sure if yours would be the same.

Very true, FT doesn't make gaskets but they do stock them.  I bought several feet of bay door gaskets at FT parts department last winter.

Steele Rubber Products manufactures the stuff.  Match up your cross section and dimensions in their catalog.  Whoever did my cut the gasket into four sections. . . instead of notching the corners and folding.

Yes. Think I paid around $12 per foot but could be wrong. Get some 3M gasket cement, the black stuff as well.
