Accordion boot
Our accordion boot products are sold in feet. The purpose of our products is to go around the windows of trucks, campers, and similar vehicles. Since accordion boots can get worn out through time, you must regularly replace them. Our products are made using the finest EPDM and synthetic rubber to ensure the window is air-tight.
Accordion boot is mainly used in the automotive industry. But in reality, any industry that needs to keep windows airtight can use them. It’s also not uncommon to need this product for residential purposes. Since every home has windows, you can use our accordion boot to go around the glass and ensure that it stays in place. When needing to install this product, you will need to know exactly how much you need to get. Since we offer our products in feet, all you need to do is simply measure how much gasket material you need.
A rear truck window will need approximately 14 feet of the accordion boot to effectively seal the opening. For cars and smaller trucks, expect to need around 10 feet. But it’s always smart to measure first and order from us later. EPDM and synthetic rubber are the best choice of material for several reasons. Not only does this material keep the window in place, but it also keeps it air-tight. Also, our product is very durable and you won’t need to constantly replace it. The choice of EPDM and synthetic rubber makes our product water-resistant and chemical resistant.
This is important for several reasons. One, you don’t want water coming inside your vehicle, and two, you don’t want soap coming in whenever washing it. So if you have any questions regarding our product, feel free to contact us at any time. We are more than eager to help solve your issue and identify how much gasket material you require.
