Best Tailgate Seal for a Chevy Silverado

Question

Question:

Had one installed by an expert. It is starting to sag in the middle and fall off! Not sure exactly which one they put on but would like to find one that will fit better and not get pinched in an adverse angle causing the problems I am currently having. I do have the spray in bed liner. Is there one that you would suggest that may be the best option? thanks for your help.

For your Chevrolet Silverado 1500, I recommend using the TruXedo Universal Tailgate TruxSeal part # TX1703206 because it uses actual 3M branded tape which is very strong so you should not have any issues with sagging. Please note you will need to make sure the surface you attach this to is smooth and free of dirt and debris. It will also need to be installed on metal, not the actual bed liner which you can see in the attached photo.

Brake systems are not dependent on the hub bolt pattern. So you can use the Electric Trailer Brake Kit #AKEBRK-7-SA for 12 inch hub/drums or #AKEBRK-35-SA for 10 inch hub/drums. Then use #10-1-1 wire sold by the foot for your brake magnet wiring.…
