Most Popular Tailgate Protection for 2021 Jeep Gladiator

I really enjoy this mat. Its not rubber bout an expanded foam with a rubber top. It provides a cushion and some insulation to prevent rattling and damage to cargo. The fabric that extends to the tailgate keeps rocks and debris out of the crack. It easily pulls out at the car wash and sprays off well instead of the pressure washer spraying back at you when you clean out the box. I have had gas and diesel spilled on it and it has no obvious deformation although I did clean it promptly. At first I wasn't sure but I enjoy it.

They always come through

Mat is good but took 10 days for it to get here when it was only an hr away

Quick order processing and shipping as always

Works as intended for the most part. Have to be careful pulling stuff out of bed as it can catch the lip of the liner at top of tailgate and break or pull at the plastic retaining strip.

Easy install, quality product although I was expecting a more ridged material. The mat is softer than I expected and things may not slide in the truck, when loading, as I had planned. Can't say anything bad about this may though.

Cheap thin plastic that has buckled up all the way around the edges. Never been any pressure nor sitting on it and is protected by a cover on top of the bed. Never plan on buying a weathertech product again. I do appreciate the follow up which will keep me buying from etrailer.

I purchased the tailgate protector. The material is soft and pliable. Unfortunately,the plastic washers that come with it are too small and therefore soon after installation, the protector peeled away from the tailgate at the top where it uses the washers to keep it in place. I ended up using some larger diameter washers to keep it secure. It fits well, and now does a great job of protecting my tailgate.

The tailgate liner arrived in a short amount of time. It fit perfectly, and installation was super easy. Would recommend this product. Ordering from etrailer.com was also a smooth process.

Fit up nicely and directions spot on, and all the parts needed were there for installation. Delivery fast, and looks good on tail gate.

This product will not install on a tailgate that has a spray on bed liner applied. The mat will not fit under the supplied clips. I drilled out all the holes and just used the existing tailgate hardware to attach it. Poor design by WeatherTech. I recommend etrailer to not carry this product.

It is a good product and does what it is supposed to - protect your tailgate. A couple of things that I noted, though, and they may or may not apply to you. The first is that it is impacted a lot by direct sunlight - meaning it expands and contracts a bit more than I would have expected. The other is that I use trail seal for my tailgate for the times I am using a tonneau cover. This product doesn't lie quite flat at the bottom of the tailgate and would push the trail seal away. This is resolved by trimming the bottom inch of the mat.

I think the fit is much looser that the one I replaced which is a bit disappointing, secondly the 3 plastic strips that hold the top in were packed in way that they were bent into curved arcs which made them useless. I wish I not installed it now and instead returned it. Weather Tech used to be very dependable.

I pretty much trust everything Weather Tech, but this product missed the mark. It was EXTREMELY difficult to install. It uses a long plastic "C" clip along the upper edge of the tailgate to hold down the mat. You're suppose to install the clip and then slide the mat in from one end, even with lube it wouldn't slide in. I've been working on my own cars for 50 years. It took me quite a while to get the mat into the "C" clip. Then you have to move it back and forth some to line up the screw holes that are reused in the tailgate.
