Dee Zee® DZ97970 - Tailgate Lock

If you load heavy objects in and out of your pickup truck bed regularly, you need protection for the inner surface of your tailgate panel to avoid the inevitable scrapes and gouges that make your truck look battered and worn. And if you’ve ever tossed heavy items or debris into the bed, you know it only takes one miscalculation to bounce something off that inside tailgate wall and leave a sizable dent that is there to stay. The one-piece rubber Tailgate Mat from Dee Zee offers a stylish solution to this problem, with a thick, ribbed rubber piece that mounts on the inner edge of your tailgate panel. Not only does the Tailgate Mat protect your truck, its durable blending also serves to keep it free of damage as well.

Specially blended Nyracord rubber enhanced with cord-type weave construction is extremely resistant to cuts, abrasions, and gouges – so it will stand up to the elements, ultraviolet rays, and even spilled oil or gasoline without degrading. Even in bad weather conditions, a ribbed surface area increases traction for better footing when the need arises to climb into the bed area or walk on top of the tailgate panel. The Tailgate Mat is designed for full-size trucks, but some trimming may be required to achieve a perfect fit on smaller models. Installation of the Tailgate Mat requires minor drilling, but all necessary hardware and helpful instructions are included. Dee Zee proudly manufactures the Tailgate Mat in the United States and to ensure your satisfaction, it is backed with a 3-year warranty.
