PVC U-channel trim is an unsung hero in automotive and truck design, offering critical protection and sealing for edges, panels, and joints. Made from high-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC), these U-shaped profiles are engineered to withstand harsh environments while maintaining flexibility and aesthetic appeal.
Superior Weather Resistance
Withstands temperatures from -30°F to 180°F without cracking or warping.
UV-stabilized formulas prevent fading and degradation under direct sunlight.
Chemical & Corrosion Resistance
Immune to road salts, oils, and acidic cleaners, making it ideal for underbody and engine bay applications.
Noise & Vibration Reduction
Cushions metal-to-metal contact, reducing rattling in truck cabins and cargo beds.
Lightweight & Easy to Install
50% lighter than aluminum channels, reducing fuel costs over long hauls.
Pre-cut lengths with adhesive backing or clip-on designs for tool-free fitting.
Door & Window Seals: Prevent water ingress and wind noise in truck cabs.
Bedliner Edging: Protect pickup truck beds from scratches during cargo loading.
Fender & Wheel Arch Guards: Shield paint from stone chips and mud splatter.

Colors: Black, gray, or custom-matched hues to blend with vehicle aesthetics.
Reinforcement: Optional steel wire inserts for high-stress areas (e.g., heavy-duty truck doors).
