Better quality than I expected!

This gasket fitted my 2003 Dodge 1500 perfectly with a Jason fiberglass body. It turned out to be even more durable than I expected! This was very easy to do, although I recommend attaching it to the cap with contact adhesive, not just the double-sided tape strips that come with the kit. I highly recommend it.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • New competition arrived

NOT 23 feet long! ATTENTION LONG BOX OWNERS!

I have a 2009 Chevy Silverado 8ft box with a 2009 Empty 8ft fiberglass cover. Over time, the original seal began to fail, so it's time to replace the seal. Seal ESI Super Cap Seal xl 23 ft. I went SHORT! Its length is only 22 feet 4 inches! I needed 22 feet 8 inches. I didn't measure until I installed the new gasket and I was 4 inches short! Now I'm stuck on a short press and had to improvise with the cutoffs.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • I will be silent

Gasket - Exterior Accessory

This is a solid gasket, much better than the unnecessary crushed styrofoam strip that was on my hat. It slipped and licked like crazy. Now it stays outside and seems to have been dry ever since. I took off a star because it didn't have the adhesive or alcohol wipes listed on the box and instructions. The glue could be a bit tackier, I guess that's what the promoter is for, but I don't know as I didn't have it in the package or on hand. It worked anyway

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Fluid to activate the fiber optic installation is low. You may need more.

If you are installing a fiberglass cover you may run out of small tubes of 'activator' as it evaporates quickly. I have done my fault. It really could have contained 4 tiny tubes, not 2. It was a little stressful to realize we might not have enough after launch. I installed an empty hi-top on an 8ft bed F 250. Lots of rubber to get it around an inch or so. The first turn was a little tricky to cut properly. The second haircut went smoothly. Good thing there's a little seal left.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Not sure

Too short for my long van

I was excited when I ordered this item as it looks like a bomber seal. As other longbox owners have said, the seal for my 2004 Dodge with an 8ft bed was about 6 inches shorter, which forced me to rip off a piece of the old seal. The seal lasted about 3 years before it started leaking at the seam where I put the old seal. Now I'm playing around because my topper is a PITA that needs to be removed. I hope the manufacturer reads this review and resolves this issue as I would happily pay a fewโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Good but not great

Nice clasp for my ARE topper

I was impressed with the thickness and the look. The glue was much better than I expected after reading other reviews. I bought caulking glue but didn't need it. The instructions provided were good and easy to follow. This gasket is much thicker than the original foam padding that came with my ARE topper. My topper now sits about 1/4 inch higher than before, but the seal looks much tighter. I had a lot of extra compression due to my 5ft bed on my Chevy Colorado. When you buy this seal, you will

  • Perfect for outdoor activities

The best things to keep your truck bed dry.

I was going to use a regular foam gasket but then my cousin said he happened upon it at Revain and thought it was good so I looked at him and thought the same. The description mentioned that it reduces vibration, which I never considered. When I took my cap off I saw that the company that installed the cap 6 years ago was using a cheap foam strip which I was going to buy first. Well most of it was rotten and the cap was sitting on bare metal so I cleaned it with steel wool and orange cleaner to

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak

Good product. But Cargo Cover Accessory

Well this is a great product but by the measurements it 'should' be long enough for my 8ft aluminum truck tarp. It was about 8 inches too "short". I didn't waste anything, I made the right cuts, but they were short. Too bad I didn't measure it "before". doesn't look long enough. Forced to do so in cold weather, I rushed to get it done and didn't take the time to "measure" the length of the roll before I started (Bad!) Mat the same thickness and filled last 7-8 inches under the hood. Greatโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and Modern Design
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled
