After removing an old seal which hadn't fully filled the gap around the tailgate, I installed the new Trailseal Gasket on my 2017 F150 in 15 minutes or so. The only potential problem area is at the lower corner of the tailgate where the metal is curved near the hinge. I added small piece of gasket directly on the tailgate to better seal the gap. I had also done this with the old gasket and it seems to stay in place OK.
I live in Western Colorado which has plenty of dirt or gravel roads. The day after installing the new Trailseal gasket I was on one of those gravel roads and it appears that very little if any dust got sucked into the bed. The truck also has a tonneau cover, so if the seal is good, the interior stays reasonably dust free.
This proved to be an excellent product and did what it was advertised to do.
I ordered the TrailSeal Tailgate Gasket for my 2022 Ford F-150 Platinum which has a power tailgate. The install took about 15 minutes and appears that it will do a good job of sealing out dust and snow. The kit had good instructions and contained more than enough material. After installation the tailgate closed and locked with a push of the button. When installing make sure you have everything lined up the way you want as the adhesive will not let you reposition the gasket.
The truck had been sealed with a rhino liner which also covers the lip where the truck bed seal is to be placed. The seal did not seal to the rhino liner very well. I have removed and applied double gorilla tape but the seal still sagged. I removed and have applied silicone caulk. So not a good seal. I think I’ll have to start over.
I used this to seal around my Ridgeline dual action tailgate. I already had installed a backflip hard folding cover. The seal works great. I now get a very small amount of water in the bed in a hard rain
After reading instructions twice we installed lower seat for tailgate to 19 1/2 in. mark. Then installed right upright seal(see pic). After checking fit we installed left seal putting it on radius. Much better fitting seal.
Had to put seal(excess from upright) on tailgate near latch(zee pic) to try to fill gaps at top of tailgate.
Installed on 2018 Chevy silverado.
Hope pic go through.
Very disappointed, at first it worked great then the lower seal fell off and hanging within 8 months. I installed this per instructions on a brand new from the dealer truck with a tonue cover.
Purchased product to seal truck bed for trip to Alaska. Installed easily in about hour. Bed remained very clean after after 4 months and 11000 mi including Alaska Hwy, Top of World Hwy, Klondike Hwy, and Cassiar Hwy. Top protected by Lear 700 series tonneau. Excellent protection on dusty and muddy roads. Highly recommend.
Works great! Really helped keep dust out of my bed.
I made the right choice. Took my time, watched a video,cleaned surfaces. All gaps on tailgate sealed.
Blocks about 80% of the dust. It is difficult to get a complete seal because of curves & gaps in the tailgate area (Toyota Tacoma 2018)
I give an average simply because the fit of the tailgate on my Ranger is not good. Gaps are just to big. There are areas that the gasket just is not thick/deep enough to make a perfect seal. It did make a positive difference, still lets some water in.
The seal works in most areas of the tailgate. However, it does not seal near the top of the tailgate. My truck is a 2012 Chevy and has a curved area near the top where the tailgate latches. So, there still is a gap where the seal does not mesh up with the closed tailgate. Wish the material were made model specific. I am going to monitor how much dust will enter the box.
Product was delivered in a timely manner. Cleaned all contact spots with alcohol before installation. This was on a 2018 Ford F150. Installation took about 20 minutes. Seemed to stick very well. As with most all pickup beds, to get a tight fit I had to double up the product near the top corners of the tailgate. Will have to see how that sticks moving forward. Not sure why no one makes a tailgate seal that is model specific. I know I would personally pay more for such a product. That being said, this is the best product I could find and I am very pleased with it.
I've had this installed for about a year (this is the second winter). It was obviously very easy to install and the adhesive is holding up well.
It has performed well in direct heat from the sun and in cold conditions with ice freezing all around the tailgate.
The seal has easily remained in place on the flat surfaces. It has stayed in place surprisingly well on uneven surfaces and areas where I was not able to get a perfect install. It's best to not rush the install. Plan where the seal needs to go and clean the surface thoroughly.
After one year, it's safe to say that this tailgate seal is easily worth the money.
Great product. Easy to apply and keeps the snow and dust out. Your results depend on you installing it in the correct place. Don't expect the instructions to tell you precisely where, as truck tailgate designs vary. Do it right, and it works.
This is the widest one I could find. I was able to work with my dealership's auto body group to seal my 2019 Ford Ranger tailgate gap.
The concept is OK, but I was disappointed that the rubber seal that mounted at the end of the floor of the bed next to the tailgate got pushed out of place when the tailgate was closed. I cleaned the surface with solvent so it would stick properly, but after a period of time the gasket just dangled between the bed end and the tailgate.
When closing, the bottom of the tailgate pushes the rubber seal sideways and peels it off the area where it was attached.
Otherwise, the kit pretty much works as advertised
Hello George,
Thank you for taking the time to contact me. The TailSeal is still firmly attached. I followed the installation instructions to the letter and it has not failed. My only disappointment is it does not keep all dust from entering the bed.
I rarely go on gravel but it is occasionally necessary in Iowa. Dust comes into the bed about a foot from the tail gate. I did not expect the product to correct Ram's design flaw but hoped for an improvement. It improved but didn't eliminate the flaw. Still, given the price, I would purchase again. I'll just not set an uncovered cake within a foot or two of the gate. I don't like crunchy cake. Also, I don't use my truck for business. I'm a gentleman pickup owner, whatever that is.
Again, I do truly appreciate customer service and etrailer is a fine example of it.
The foam inserts for dust control are working fine. We ended up using a sealant to better protect the inside of the truck bed.
This is the fourth truck that I have installed the tailgate sealer on. I have tried different products, but etrailer’s product seems to do the best job. The adhesive used on their product is superior ... it doesn’t slip out of place after extended opening and closing. Their product seems to be of a heavier rubber material and so far much more durable. While I haven’t abused it over an extended period of time, to date, I’m extremely satisfied with etrailer’s tailgate sealing product.
A year now post installation of the Tailgate Gasket and the gate seal has done the job I had hoped. Adhesive has withstood a cold winter and hot summer without de laminating or pulling lose it closed what was in some places a half inch gap. My shell enclosed truck bed stays dry in the most extreme rain conditions and dust/debris accumulation reduced to nearly nothing. An inexpensive fix to a annoying problem. Highly recommended.
This product is working as advertised. I have driven through a lot of snow this winter. I have not had any snow in my truck bed. It was easy to put in and it looks great as well.
Great product. Seal material & adhesive top notch. Directions on installing side seals need more detail for proper seal. Tail gate slowly rubbed bottom gasket loose.
I bought my Flip Top truck bed cover from you and have been absolutely satisfied with the product. It was easy to install and is easy to use. I've had numerous people comment about how good it looks and how easy it is to use. Thanks for your service and attention to quality. In the future, if I need another product for my truck, you will be the first stop for finding that a product.
I optimistically purchased this product. Unfortunately, the product has not worked in two areas. First, the tailgate seal failed in an area about 10" long. Second, the seal between the back of the bed nearest the cab failed in multiple areas. This is likely due to the factory bedliner in the vehicle. In spite of this, the product has not worked as described.
