Running board on E450 replace rubber

Does anyone have some suggestions on where to find replacement rubber for the molded plastic running boards on my E450 Class C. I don't know the name of the boards but one blew off on my trip and now its just bare plastic. The rubber goes over the plastic like a large tread to step on. Thanks for any help!!!
  • Our 2003 E-450 cab has aluminum running boards. If you can't find a direct replacement for what you have, perhaps the aluminum ones from a salvage yard will fit your cab.

    If you just want to prevent slipping on the smooth plastic and can't find anything else, try self stick stair treads from Home Depot. Bathtub stickies might also work for the same purpose.
  • Go to a marine outfitter (chandler) and get some scotchmen. Cut to fit, self adhesive. The stuff is used on boat decks to reduces slip hazard.
