## Overview

The ESI Ultimate Tailgate Seal is a patented, 10ft automotive-grade EPDM rubber seal designed to eliminate dust and water intrusion through tailgate gaps on trucks with caps or tonneau covers. Made in the USA, it features strong 3M adhesive tape for a secure, vibration-reducing fit. Vehicle-specific kits ensure compatibility with most modern pickups, while installation takes just 30 minutes under recommended temperature conditions.

Packaged directions must be followed to properly install this product. Apply when the air and surface temperature is between 55° - 104°F (13° - 40°C). This product requires 25 lbs. of pressure to bond adhesive. Note: Kit contains a 14" piece of Large Tailgate Seal with Taper Seal that can be substituted for Standard Tailgate Seal when using small cut pieces, for extra wide gaps, on the sidewalls. To purchase additional Large Tailgate Seal with Taper Seal search ASIN: B098MSCH8L. MADE IN USA

Review: Very pleased with initial results. This is the best stuff i have used yet. Time will tell if the adhesive will hold but the design and thickness of the foam rubber creates a good seal. I did use additional "magic tape" also bought off desertcart to ensure the strips of foam stuck down. This was to ensure dust doesn't get sucked in through the tail gate into my truck bed when covered by a canopy.
Review: Artikel genau wie beschrieben, Lieferung länger als angegeben und erwartet, ist aber gut angekommen. Gute Qualität. Dichtet meine Heckklappe! Lässt sich leicht anbringen.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Any luck using with 2017 F150?**
A: Yes! There is also a vehicle specific Ford kit that uses 2 less cut pieces, search ASIN: B0B5Y9MFCK

**Q: How long is the whole roll? The description says 8x8x1. Is that inches feet or other?**
A: I believe it should state 8'x1"X1".   It's 8' long and the tubing is about 1" wide and 1" deep when not compressed.

**Q: Anyone installed on a 2022 ford f150 reg bed? installed a bak 4ks rolling cover and water gets in near tailgate section**
A: Yes, this one does work, but you can eliminate 2 cut pieces by using the Tailgate Seal with Taper Seal for Ford vehicle specific kit, search ASIN: B0B5Y9MFCK. The install directions can also be found at TailgateSeal.com

**Q: How do you double it up for large gaps? guessing you put the seal on each mating surface? needed for a 2004 f250 super duty.**
A: This kit will work as it contains a piece of large tailgate seal (not pictured). This was recently added so that it can seal all pickup tailgate configurations that are not listed on TailgateSeal.com.

Have not got the pickup yet, getting things ready for when it is here. Done some research and they say this profile is good. I do hope so as I need a totally dry pickup bed.
