TPV Seal Strip for Roof Rack

TPV Seal Strip for Roof Rack

A TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) seal strip for roof racks is a high-performance sealing component designed to provide weatherproofing, noise reduction, and vibration damping between roof racks and vehicle surfaces. It ensures a secure, rattle-free fit while protecting the car’s paint from scratches and water damage.
Key Features & Benefits
✔ Superior Weather Resistance – Withstands UV rays, rain, snow, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to 120°C / -40°F to 248°F).
✔ Noise & Vibration Control – Reduces wind noise and rattling at high speeds.
✔ Paint Protection – Soft, non-abrasive surface prevents scratches and corrosion.
✔ Durable & Flexible – TPV material offers better aging resistance than EPDM or rubber, with no hardening or cracking over time.
✔ Easy Installation – Self-adhesive backing or groove-mount design for quick assembly.
