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. Material Advantages Property TPV Seal Strip Traditional Rubber Strip UV Resistance Excellent (no degradation) Good, but may harden over time Weight Lightweight Slightly heavier Flexibility Retains elasticity in cold temps Can stiffen in freezing conditions Applications SUV/Cross Roof Racks – Seals mounting points for cargo carriers or bike racks. Aftermarket Roof Rails – Provides a clean, OEM-like fit. Commercial Van Racks – Ensures long-term durability in fleet vehicles. Installation & Maintenance Clean Surface – Use alcohol to remove dirt/oil before applying adhesive strips. Align Properly – Ensure full contact along the roof rack base.
