The tailgate edge gasket is manufactured as a flexible rubber profile that adapts to the body contours and the shape of the tailgate. The design provided by the Smart manufacturer ensures appropriate elasticity, which facilitates installation and subsequent operation – the tailgate closes smoothly, and the gasket maintains contact with the mating surfaces.

Thanks to the use of original geometry:

• factory gap lines between the tailgate and the body are maintained,
• the risk of rattling and looseness in the tailgate area is reduced,
• the gasket works with factory hinges and the lock without the need for modifications.
