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. ## Features - NOT universal (see VEHICLE SPECIFIC KITS below).

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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***S on 6 August 2024* 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 Amazon 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 *by M***. on 3 February 2017* Artikel genau wie beschrieben, Lieferung länger als angegeben und erwartet, ist aber gut angekommen. Gute Qualität. Dichtet meine Heckklappe! Lässt sich leicht anbringen. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***P on 12 February 2021* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - ESI Ultimate Tailgate Seal with Taper Seal 10ft for use with Truck Caps and Tonneau Covers - ESI Super Cap Seal XL 20 FT (2 1/8" Width x 1/2" Height x 20' Length) EPDM Rubber for Caps Over 200 lbs - XFasten Butyl Tape Black, 1/2 in x 30 ft x 1/8 in – Easy-to-Work-with Automotive Butyl Sealant Tape, Mess-Free Rubber Caulk for RV, EPDM Putty for Window, Headlight, Roof, Windshield, and Car Doors --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/276756188-ultimate-tailgate-seal-with-taper-seal-10ft-for-use-truck](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/276756188-ultimate-tailgate-seal-with-taper-seal-10ft-for-use-truck) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
