Hey folks, we have updated our website to include the option to purchase the GapShield on line, and have also included more answers to your FAQ's regarding the GapShield. This update should also address some the contact problems some of you have experienced. The updated site is temporarily at www.ecoologicalproduct.us, until we can get it migrated to our permanent www.ecoological.com domain. Check it out. It's too hot to be wasting time cleaning up after loose cargo falls in to/through your tailgate gap. You can go get a cold drink much sooner . . . if you had a GapShield.

I got a gapshield today. It seems very durable but I will report back after some use. I washed the truck bed area with soap and water then with denatured alcohol. I then applied the adhesive prep that was included. Then I peeled the backing off the tape and installed it. It was vey simple to do and it seemed to adhere VERY WELL. I'm excited about this and hope it works as well and easily as the installation. Darin has been great and provided great customer service. If you don't get through to the company the first time, be patient, it will be worth it.

The new site is a big improvement. It's nice to see better pictures of the product, the link to the installation instructions, and an easy checkout for purchasing too.

Holding up well. I was concerned that it wouldn't stay adhered to the spray in liner but so far so good.

I know I'm digging up an old thread here but I was looking for one of these and came across this. I got to wondering though what you do when you need to remove your tailgate? Can you just use the adhesive on the bed side and leave the tailgate side un-adhered? Anyone ever had to do this?

I bought a gapshield from the above company and it works really well. I attached mine to the bed liner because my liner comes right to the end of the bed and if I attached it under the liner it sort of jambed up the tailgate when I went to close it. I'm sure all installations are different but the product works great for all kinds of gravel, dirt and whatever. Recommended......and not expensive......I turn mine down to seal the bed tight, sort of like tailgate seal. On the plus side of turning it down between the bed and gate is that if you have a cover it lets the water run down the gate and not onto your bedliner. My bed stays dry, I tried to turn it up but it lets the water run onto the bedliner. I have the step in my gate so it lets a small amount of water on the inside of the gate sometimes. Play around with it before you apply it. Once applied it's there to stay.

hope this helps.
