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!

Patented P-shaped Tailgate Seal with Taper Seal

Often imitated, never duplicated. Our patented Tailgate Seal with Taper Seal is made from EPDM rubber with 3M ST1200 adhesive.

Installing on the sidewall of a truck

Start 1” below truck bed floor and attach seal to the rear corner edge of the left sidewall.

Installing in the tailgate gap of a truck

Start at either end of the tailgate gap and flush with Tailgate Seal on the sidewall. Align the top of bulb with the lower ridge of truck bed floor. Peel back liner and attach in sections.

Customers are mixed about the fit of the weather stripping. Some mention that it fits fine, the suggested measurements are very close, and the tailgate closes more snugly now. However, others say that it's too small, not a specific fit, and too narrow for all applications.

26 customers mention3 positive23 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the gap between the tailgate and the bed. They mention that the product does not adequately fill the gaps, and there are still gaps after installation that allow dust to enter the bed, making it difficult to clean. Some customers also mention that there are small holes at the top corners of the tail gate and that the stripping doesn't completely seal the gap.

"...It may be my poor install but it also seems like there is just too big of a gap to cover with this universal style gasket for all locations...." Read more

"...There are a couple spots on the Ford where the stripping doesn't completely seal the gap...." Read more

"...However, at the top of the tailgate, the gap is much to wide for this seal to be effective...." Read more

"...My tailgate is not bent but just has a bad gap...." Read more

Overall OK
4 Stars
Overall OK
The lower seal is perfect and works well. The side seals are inconsistent and I still have significant gaps up toward the top of the tailgate. It may be my poor install but it also seems like there is just too big of a gap to cover with this universal style gasket for all locations. Even the few small pieces of very large gasket was just not enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good product, but not perfect for for 5th Gen Ram
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2023
I like this kit. The quality of the material is good and instructions are very straight forward. The problem is with the 5th Gen Ram taikgztez three needs to be more of the larger seal materials and less of the small. You really only need the small material along the bottom of tailgate. Then transition to the larger seal around the lower corner and up the sides. There is only enough of the larger seal to fit between the two factory bumpers on each side. I was able to double up on the lower corners with the small seal to fill the gap, but not a good way to do the cmvery top above the latch with just the small seal material.
