chevysoldier Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Had a problem with my tailgate freezing to my tonneau cover last year. Would prevent the tailgate from being opened. With the weather changing, I'd like to get a jump on preventing it. Quick Google search came up with a light coat of Vaseline being the most reliable option. You guys have any ideas or run into this?

Chrome Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I have a bakflip cover and damn near ripped off the handle because it froze the cover to the tailgate. Thought about the Vaseline last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gump Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Plastic tailgate cap cover of a porous plastic material. I had a tonneu cover and a tailgate cap cover thing. Never had the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
