Hello there, I was wondering if someone might have the dimensions for the tailgate carpetbacker board handy, please? Mine hadno backer board and I have a full carpet set on order from BJ's. I was hoping to get material and cut one out before the carpet arrives, but couldn't find dimensions. Thank you for any assistance.

You're welcome, any help we can do to help, I realized that the handle cut out is a bit offset so here are more precise measurements
Across the horizontal top is about, about because of the curve cut out it is 5 7/8 to 5 3/4 and the depth at ea bottom valley 4 and 4 3/4 as per pict

No worries, Dave! Letank's awesome measurements and offset photo for the handle made it pretty easy to lay out. Once I have the carpet I will be able to match the corner radii to the board and round the corners.
