ESI Ultimate Tailgate Seal with Taper for RAM RamBox Classic/New Body (2009-2023, 2019+) – Made in USA

Protect your RAM tailgate with an original, patented seal

The ESI Ultimate Tailgate Seal with Taper Seal is engineered for RAM trucks that feature RamBox, covering both the Classic body style (2009–2023) and the newer RamBox design (2019 and later). This is the kind of accessory that blends into your truck’s lines while offering a dedicated barrier against the elements. It uses automotive-grade EPDM rubber with a robust 3M ST1200 adhesive, designed to stand up to routine exposure and resist common finishes, including spray-on bed liners. Made in the USA, this seal emphasizes durability and engineering that supports long-term use in a variety of weather conditions.

What you can gain from a well-sealed tailgate

Real-world handling of a tailgate-and-tonneau setup often involves dusty wind, sudden sprays, or light rain. The seal aims to reduce intrusion by forming a tighter barrier along the tailgate bottom and sidewalls. While not a guarantee, the design suggests potential reductions in dust, moisture, and draft entry during transport or when the tailgate is used with a tonneau cover.

• Dust and water intrusion may be less noticeable at the tailgate seam.
• Better separation between cargo area and outdoor air when the tailgate is closed with a cover.
• Compatibility with RAM models that feature RamBox and a dedicated tailgate setup.

Materials, adhesion, and installation basics

The seal uses automotive-grade EPDM rubber paired with 3M ST1200 adhesive, chosen for compatibility with a wide range of surface finishes, including spray-on bed liners. This combination aims to provide a strong bond while remaining flexible enough to accommodate temperature-related expansion and contraction.

• Adheres to diverse finishes with reliable bonding performance.
• Intended for installation along the tailgate bottom and sidewalls when a tonneau cover is in use.
• Follow packaging directions and apply within the recommended temperature range for best results.

Installation and compatibility notes

For best results, review the included directions before starting. Temperature during installation should be between 55° and 104°F (13°–40°C), and the adhesive bond typically requires around 25 pounds of pressure to set. This product is designed for RAM with RamBox in Classic and New Body styles; other RAM configurations may have related compatibility via additional listings.

Made in the USA, this seal represents a focused, purpose-built solution for RAM owners seeking a practical enhancement to their tailgate area while using a tonneau cover.
