How Does GapShield Protect My Truck?
The GapShield saves you time and money by keeping loose materials like mulch and rock from falling through the gap between the tailgate, and the bed of your truck. When used with a tonneau cover, GapShield also acts as a partial tailgate seal that reduces the amount of dust in the truck bed.
How Does GapShield Protect My Truck?
In addition to saving material, the GapShield also prevents rocks from falling onto the bumper step pad, and damaging the underside of the tailgate. GapShield is an easy solution to these common problems.
How Does The GapShield Install?
Installation is very easy. The GapShield™ tailgate gap filler is simply cut to fit the length of your truck bed. Two full-lengths of high strength automotive grade adhesive strips included with your GapShield™ makes attachment to just about any truck bed surface easy and secure. The GapShield's durable elastomeric material easily flexes along its entire length, so it won't interfere with closing the tailgate, yet is in place when you need it to help secure your load from falling through the tailgate gap when travelling or when you drop your tailgate for unloading. The GapShield™ can also be easily tucked in to the gap, getting it out of the way of any other use of your truck bed without interfering with closing the tailgate.
The GapShield™ Tailgate Gap Cover was featured on The Farming Channel "Cool Tools" segment as an excellent tool for farmers, landscapers, and do-it-yourselfers. The GapShield™ can help you save time, stop wasting material, and prevent damage to your truck by keeping material from falling through tailgate gap.
