Review: Easy instructions and easy to install. Comes with all the prep tools to get the glue to adhere. I bought this as I have a tri-fold cover and dust would still come in through the tailgate openings even when it was closed on gravel roads. once adding the seal I have no issues. It works to keep the water out as well. This is my second F-150 that I have used this on and both have worked exactly as expected. Would recommend. ## Features - Upgraded kit uses 2 less cut pieces.
