I love the idea of a flexible gap filler between the car and trailer.

I have thought about that almost ever since I built my teardrop. I still haven't been able to think of an ideal material to do that with.

It has to be flexible, (so you can make turns!) yet not be flapping in the breeze the whole time. The best I can think of is something like Spandex, which would be pulled snug, but still have enough give for turns.

I would imagine snaps would be the best way to attach it, although Velcro could work too.
