So far it's working great!

I have a covered 2016 Tacoma and we often sleep in the back seat on our hikes. When I take the truck off the road, I get annoyed by the extra dust and dirt that settles on and in the body. Also, I was hoping to get more insulation as the gap between the tailgate and the body sides on my truck is quite large. It filled about 90-95% of my gap and adhered to the bed very securely following simple instructions. This will definitely reduce dust ingress and I think it should also be effective for…

Pros
  • Nice Design
Cons
  • Damaged

Luckily this company has great customer service. I was only contacted a few days later and received the issue which I resolved very quickly. The initial installation didn't take long, the online guides are of course much better. I kept a close eye on them and was disappointed that my truck couldn't take the seal, it just rolled down. It turns out that the gap between the rear door and the Silverado's body can be quite narrow. If you turn the seal over so the bubble is pointing directly at the…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

Good product - bad instructions

Use this product to seal my triple trunk lid on my 2018 Ram 1500 to protect my bunker gear and breathing apparatus from the weather and cockpit. The product itself seems well made and definitely sticky, however there are some instructions. I used both the paper form provided and the sheets posted on their website but they didn't explain very well and left a lot to be desired in terms of sealing. The most exposed part was the upper corners of the tailgate, which previously had little sealing…

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Only available in white

Great product - I tested it thoroughly!

I have a Toyota Tacoma with a Tri-Fold Tonneau. I sleep in the back of a truck while camping. If you drive off-road, you know how much dirt and dust gets onto the bed of a truck. After several days of driving on a dirt road, the body of the truck and everything in it is absolutely dirty. I installed this tailgate seal this weekend before driving down the Rock Road Hole in Coyote Gulch in Grand Starcase Escalante National Monument, Utah. It's about 80 miles round trip on a dirt road. Having…

  • Confident

  • Some Flaws

Goes easy, seals the gap.

I put this on a 2018 F-150. About 8 inches remain. The online instructions were very good with pictures of where to put it. My bed pad is Weathertech, very flat/thin. Tailgate to glue. Which reminded me that adhesion isn't everything you think it should be. The tape will literally peel the paint off your truck. This material is not as sticky as this one. I was able to pull it back in a few spots to fix bugs, even after pressing the spot very hard. There are a couple of spots on the Ford where…

  • New
Cons

Works as advertised

I discovered the need for this product after installing a flip up cover on my Toyota Tacoma. My old Chevrolet Colorado had a Swiss hatch that closed the tailgate and both rails, and in 11 years of operation, water has never entered the body. Hinged lids work very well but are not waterproof. If they're like mine and don't cover the tailgate, it's easy for water to seep around the tailgate because the manufacturers don't put a door seal around it. This product addresses that deficiency, which I…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Appearance
