Product Description
Love your truck? Seal it. Protect it.
Why is it important to use ESI's high quality EPDM rubber seals on your truck cap?
Some truck caps, that sit on the rails of your truck, are cushioned by a low density foam, sponge or rubber seal. In a very short time, the weight of the cap compresses and deteriorates the inferior seal down to nothing and the vibrations of the cap frame begin to scratch the paint. Dust, fumes and water will invade your truck bed and cargo.
Every time you remove your cap, you will need to replace the low density and/or low quality seal. Using ESI's high quality EPDM rubber seals on your truck cap, you will prevent vibrations, scuff and rust damage, while keeping out the elements. Our seals are made in America.
For the tailgate gap and sidewalls, install our patented Tailgate Seal with Taper Seal to completely seal out the elements. All truck makes and models vary slightly.
Use our patented Tailgate Seal with Taper Seal to completely seal out the elements!

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2023
LAST no matter what you do, the large rubber seal you must use across top of vertical body side to seal top edges of tailgate, on auto open the tailgate will hang a bit on the rubber & not drop automatically. No biggie for me. Wonder if it will hold up well sliding stuff in and out. Just don’t want water coming in the tailgate from road wash or car wash. Gotta be a more custom fit tailgate seal for 2019 Dodge Ram someplace!
The flip-type covers do very well but are not water tight. If they are the kind like I have which do not overlap the tailgate, water can readily leak in around the tailgate because manufacturers do not apply door seal around it. This product alleviates this deficiency, which as a side note I think truck makers should be fixing.
The seller provides the sealing material and everything needed to do a good install. In reading the reviews of those unsatisfied with the product, they seem to fall into two categories: either the product didn't adhere and therefore didn't work, or else there wasn't enough material to do the customer's truck.
I believe that most of the cases in which the sealer doesn't seem to adhere or seal are due to customer error in not scrupulously following the directions. The seller is quite clear about the need to thoroughly clean the area where the sealer is to be applied with soap and water, and then after that the area also needs to be cleaned with alcohol. The seller even includes an alcohol towelette to be used for that purpose. Then, after the product is cut to the correct size as shown in the photo spread provided for each of about 15 or 16 trucks -- pick yours -- and is correctly positioned as per the testing described in detail in the instructions, the key step is to FIRMLY press the sealer adhesive onto the truck and give it some time, up to 24 hours, to cure. For measure-once-cut-twice type people this is not going to work, and I suggest such buyers find an automotive repair shop or truck supply house to do the install for them.
But in the second case of insufficient material I believe that these customers might have a point, and this is why I only give four stars. In buying my Tacoma I found out that "small" trucks like my old Colorado have had growing pains in the past decade. Today's Colorado is larger than the Silverado was 10 years ago. Most of the folks complaining about material shortage have large-format trucks: F-150, Silverado or Tundra. I believe that perhaps trucks have gotten larger since this seller began marketing and that it is possible that an extra foot or two of sealer is needed for these larger truck models. If the cost of the material is too high to just throw another foot or two in then perhaps a "big truck" product at a few dollars more would fill the bill. In any case I urge the seller to re-examine whether ten feet is really enough for all larger models.
I have no complaints after several weeks and many rainy days. This product effectively seals the tailgate area from water leakage even during heavy rain, and the installation documentation, both written and especially the model-by-model photos available on the seller's website, are outstanding.
