Is There a Grommet or Heat Shrink at the Back of the Pollak 6-Pole Round Pin Wiring Socket?

Question:
Does this come with heat shrink or a rubber grommet at the back, or is it open letting the wiring rot due to water and road spray?

Hey Derrick. There's a rubber boot that goes over the back of the Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Socket item # PK11608. You can see it in the product video I linked below. This a pretty common design amongst these connectors. You can seal off the end with electrical tape.
What kind of vehicle are you flat towing?

Hey Derrick, did the rubber boot on the Pollak Wiring Socket work well for keeping the wiring protected from water and road spray? I'm curious to know how it turned out for you, as it could help others looking for a similar solution.
