TrailSeal Tailgate Gasket- A Tight Tailgate Seal
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.
Would not recommend sealing bottom of tailgate. Dirt and debris collects, causing cocern of rust issues. So when warm weather returns I’ll try to completely remove seal from bottom of tailgate. Still get dust getting sucked into cargo bed.
