Description

Give your tailgate top a clean look that keeps your paint fresh and scratch-free. The Putco Tailgate Cap is custom-made to fit over your gate, stopping everyday gouges and dings from ruining the look of your truck.

Beyond protection, the Putco Tailgate Cap outfits your truck with limited edition looks. The smooth stainless steel is polished to a mirror-like finish rivaling the brilliance of chrome.

Installing the Putco Tailgate Cap takes only a few minutes, with no need for dangerous cutting. Minor drilling or bolting may be required. Just mount the Tailgate Cap with the pre-applied heavy-duty 3M adhesive tape and you're done.

Whether paired with matching Putco Bed Caps or installed alone, this tailgate guard provides great looks and value-saving paint preservation. Your Putco Tailgate Guard boasts a Lifetime Warranty.

Notes

  • For newer model Chevrolet/GMC trucks with the large GM Boss tailgate cap, the Putco Tailgate Cap reaches lower to cover the bolt holes left in your tailgate after removing the Boss cap.
  • The Putco Tailgate Cap covers only the top rail section of your tailgate. The pictured matching bed rail caps are Putco Skins Bed Caps, available in our Bed Caps and Bed Rails section.

"This product looks nice from afar but upon a closer look will reveal that the quality and fit are not up to the task of really protecting the gate. I'm almost certain that my ramps will dent this guard the first time I use them."

Straightforward installation

Posted on 06/18/2007 by Edward K. (Lawton,OK)

"This product arrived exactly as it should have with no problems. Installation was easy--I recommend pre-drilling pilot holes. It did appear that the left side of the guard was cut slightly longer than the right, making for an uneven appearance, which is why I only gave it 4 stars."

Mirror Finish

Posted on 03/16/2007 by Daniel P. (Bartlett,TN)

"The tailgate guard was highly polished. It was slick as a mirror. It came with four bags of what was described as "self tappiing screws". These were the cheapest pieces of crap that I have ever seen. They literally melted when trying to use them to install the guard. A trip to buy high quality stainless steel selftapping screws was made and the guard was then installed. I suggest everyone "dry fit the guard over the existing guard to see if the existing guard needs to be removed first. I removed mine first and ended up putting it back on and installing the new one over the old. It looks and fits much better this way."

"I've purchased Putco Products for Three trucks now. I'm always happy with the quality of their products. I just wish you could rely on the handling during shipping,I had to straighten one end and there were scratches and a dent near the middle of the tailgate guard."

Putco Tailgate Guard

Posted on 12/15/2005 by Brian A. (Mooresville,NC)

"Overall, exactly what I was looking for. Minor problem was that it was bent slightly when I received it, but not enough to justify returning it. I gently reformed it with a rubber hammer and was able to get it back so the imperfection could only be noted after careful, close inspection. Shipment, customer Service, etc. was great. Thanks!"
