Superior Protection against Leaking – The “G-Rib” design also has a polyurethane seal that rests up against the following rib creating a weather-tight seal when the door is closed.
Superior Paint Process Protects against Chipping – Gortite’s paint process offers customers the ability to precisely match any vehicle color. To prevent paint chipping, the “G-Rib” design increases clearance between the ribs along the front and back edges of the door.
