How will this trim cap improve my truck’s tailgate protection?

The ECOTRIC tailgate molding cap covers the top edge of the tailgate where dings, scratches, and UV exposure commonly occur. It adds a hard-wearing barrier so the tailgate retains its shape and finish longer without changing the tailgate’s function or latch operation.

• Durable plastic resists weathering and fading under sun and rain
• Covers the vulnerable bed-rail top to prevent chips and abrasions
• Snug OEM-style fit reduces dirt accumulation around the edge
