The ESI Ultimate Tailgate Seal was engineered specifically to address those entry points by mounting to the tailgate and adjacent surfaces using automotive-grade 3M ST1200 adhesive tape. Made in the USA and manufactured from durable EPDM rubber, this kit is tailored to the fit requirements of RAM's Classic body style (2009–2023) and the New body style (2019 and newer) that include RamBox options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the seal prevent dust and water from entering the truck bed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ESI seal creates a continuous barrier along the tailgate bottom and sidewalls where a tonneau cover meets the tailgate. Its flexible EPDM material compresses to close gaps while resisting weathering and UV exposure. Proper adhesion with the included 3M tape ensures the seal remains tight under vibration and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEPDM rubber resists ozone, heat, and UV degradation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3M ST1200 adhesive bonds to various finishes, including spray-in liners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContoured profile follows tailgate and RamBox geometry for a snug fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich RAM models and tailgate types is this kit compatible with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis product fits RAM trucks equipped with RamBox in the Classic body style (model years 2009–2023) and the New body style from 2019 onward.

The ESI Ultimate Tailgate Seal is aimed at RAM owners who use a tonneau cover and need to block water, dust, and debris that enter through the tailgate bottom and sidewalls—especially those with RamBox-equipped trucks in the specified model years. It’s also suitable for vehicle owners who want an OEM-compatible, weatherproofing upgrade made from long-lasting EPDM with a reliable 3M adhesive backing. If you have a Multifunction tailgate or a non-RamBox model, verify the correct part ASIN before purchasing to ensure fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this seal fit my RAM with RamBox?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes if your RAM has RamBox in the Classic body style (2009–2023) or New body style (2019+).
