The Back Cover Rubber Strip is a critical sealing component designed to protect the inner mechanisms of your vehicle’s tailgate or trunk. Often overlooked, this strip plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of your vehicle’s rear closure system. It is precision-engineered to create a weathertight and dustproof seal between the movable tailgate and the fixed body frame.

Constructed from high-grade, durable elastomers such as EPDM rubber, this strip is built to withstand extreme temperatures, resist ozone cracking, and endure constant friction and compression. Its primary function is to prevent water, road spray, dust, and noise from entering the cargo area and passenger cabin. A properly installed and maintained back cover rubber strip ensures a quiet ride, protects sensitive electronics and interior trim from moisture damage, and contributes to overall climate control efficiency by keeping conditioned air inside the vehicle.

Over time, exposure to sunlight, temperature cycles, and physical wear can cause the strip to become brittle, cracked, or deformed. A compromised seal leads to noticeable issues like water leaks, increased wind noise, and the ingress of unpleasant odors. Replacing a worn back cover rubber strip with a precise, OEM-equivalent part is a straightforward yet essential maintenance procedure. It restores the original protective barrier, ensuring your vehicle remains protected from the elements. This component is a simple but indispensable part of your vehicle’s long-term durability and comfort.
