How Long Do the Weather Seals Last on a TruXedo TruXport Tonneau Cover

Question:

Hi, I was just wondering how long the weather resistance material lasts before having to replace it. Does the five year warranty cover that?

I believe you are talking about the weather seals that come with TruXedo Tonneau cover # TX246601. Unless they are damaged or the truck is in extereme weather conditions frequently they can last as long as the cover does. Should you need to replace them for any reason there is a 4-pack available, # TX1703568.

The warranty would cover them if they were defective but it is a part that can wear out. the warranty specifically states:

"TruXedo, Inc. warrants that all new, unused products are free from defects in material and workmanship.

TruXedo’s obligation under this Warranty is limited to repairing, or at its option, replacing any part that is returned, transportation prepaid, to TruXedo, Inc., Yankton, South Dakota, if the product is, in our judgment, defective.
