This kit includes 20 feet of automotive EPDM rubber seal sized for larger rails, plus butyl tape, alcohol wipes and clear instructions so you can trim and install the seal to match your truck’s exact rail dimensions. Made in the USA and engineered for installers who want a better alternative to PVC or foam, this seal resists compression set and absorbs vibration so you don’t need to swap it every time the cap is removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know if the Super Cap Seal XL fits my truck cap and bed rails?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure the gap between the cap’s base rail and your truck’s front bed rail (include any bed rail caps).

EPDM outperforms PVC and foam in resisting compression set, so the seal maintains shape under heavy caps and repeated removal.

It’s ideal if you need a reliable, long-lasting EPDM seal that trims to fit, comes with adhesive and prep materials, and is built to stay serviceable through multiple installations.
