Bushwacker Ultimate Tailgate Cap — One-Piece Satin Black Tailgate Protector for 2007-2014 GM Trucks, Dura-Flex Impact Resistant

Bushwacker Ultimate Tailgate Cap is a one-piece, satin-black OE-style protector that restores and shields your truck's tailgate edge while matching factory lines.

This one-piece tailgate cap is molded to follow factory contours for a near-original appearance on compatible GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado models. Constructed from Bushwacker's Dura-Flex 2000 compound, it resists warping and absorbs impacts to protect the tailgate top from dents, dings, and everyday wear. Installation uses 3M automotive-grade adhesive plus a screw-clip system so the cap sits tight against the tailgate and stays put season after season.

Will this tailgate cap fit my truck model?

Yes — this specific part is built to fit late-model full-size GM pickups. It was designed around factory dimensions to provide a close, OE-like fit on the listed vehicles.

• Compatible with 2007–2013 GMC Sierra 1500 models.
• Compatible with 2007–2014 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD models.
• One-piece design matches factory tailgate profile for a clean appearance.

How does the material protect my tailgate?

The cap is manufactured from Dura-Flex 2000, a resilient polymer that absorbs impacts and resists environmental damage. Its built-in UV blockers minimize sun-induced fading and prevent the surface from becoming chalky over time.

• Impact-absorbing compound reduces dents and scrapes to the tailgate edge.
• Engineered to stay dimensionally stable—resists warping from heat or cold.
• Satin black finish contains UV inhibitors to slow color degradation.

How simple is the installation process?

Installation is designed for do-it-yourself and professional shops alike, combining strong 3M automotive adhesive with Bushwacker’s screw-clip fasteners for extra security. The kit ships with all required hardware and step-by-step instructions to ensure accurate placement and a factory-tight look.

• Uses 3M automotive-grade adhesive for an immediate secure bond.
• Screw-clip system provides mechanical retention for long-term reliability.
• Includes installation instructions and all necessary fasteners in the package.

What practical benefits will I notice after installing it?

Beyond restoring the appearance of a worn or damaged tailgate edge, the cap prevents future wear and can conceal minor existing damage. The smooth satin finish complements OEM trim and keeps the truck looking cared for while preserving resale value.

• Conceals small scratches and superficial tailgate imperfections.
• Protects the tailgate top from daily impacts and cargo abrasion.
• Maintains a near-factory aesthetic that blends with original styling.

Who is this for: Drivers of compatible GMC Sierra 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500 HD trucks who want a durable, OEM-style solution to protect and refresh their tailgate edge.
