150% Thicker Protection Than Standard Tailgate Mats
Superior Impact Resistance
We built the BedRug BMC07TG with 150% more cushioning material than conventional rubber tailgate mats because your truck deserves better than thin, hard surfaces that crack and tear. Our proprietary polypropylene fiber construction absorbs impacts from heavy tools, toolboxes, and equipment that would normally dent or scratch bare metal tailgates.
The extra thickness creates a protective barrier that distributes weight evenly across the tailgate surface. When you load a heavy cooler or drag cargo across the mat, our advanced fiber technology prevents the concentrated pressure points that damage standard mats. This enhanced protection extends the life of your tailgate’s finish while maintaining the professional appearance of your truck.
Custom-Fit Installation for GM Trucks
We precision-molded the BMC07TG to match the exact contours of 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra tailgates, ensuring complete coverage from edge to edge. Our custom-fit design eliminates the gaps and loose spots common with universal-fit mats that shift during use.
The installation process takes less than 5 minutes and requires no special tools or modifications to your truck. We include heavy-duty hook-and-loop fasteners that create a secure bond between the mat and your tailgate surface. Simply clean your tailgate, position the mat, and press firmly to activate the adhesive backing.
Waterproof Construction & Weather Resistance
Our 100% waterproof thermoplastic elastomer backing creates an impenetrable moisture barrier that protects your tailgate from rain, snow, spilled liquids, and road salt. Unlike carpet-style mats that absorb water and promote rust, the BMC07TG channels moisture away from metal surfaces.
The polypropylene fiber surface resists water absorption while maintaining its soft, protective texture. When you hose down the mat after a muddy job site or hunting trip, water beads on the surface and drains away quickly. This quick-dry performance prevents mildew and odors that plague inferior tailgate mats.

What people are saying
Common Questions About the BedRug BMC07TG Tailgate Mat
Yes, the BMC07TG works perfectly with spray-in bed liners already installed on your tailgate. The hook-and-loop fastening system adheres securely to textured spray-in liner surfaces without requiring additional modifications. We recommend cleaning the liner surface thoroughly before installation to ensure optimal adhesion. The mat’s waterproof backing provides an additional protective layer even when used over existing liner coatings.
The BedRug BMC07TG’s thickness is designed to provide superior protection without interfering with tailgate operation. The mat measures approximately 0.5 inches thick, which allows your tailgate to close and latch normally. We precision-engineered the edges to taper slightly, ensuring clearance with factory tailgate seals and latch mechanisms. Thousands of GM truck owners have installed this mat without experiencing any closure issues.
Absolutely. The hook-and-loop fastening system allows for repeated removal and reinstallation without losing holding strength. Many contractors remove their mats for deep cleaning or seasonal storage and reinstall them without any performance degradation. We recommend cleaning both the mat backing and tailgate surface between reinstallations to maintain optimal adhesion. The fasteners are rated for hundreds of attachment cycles.
Yes, the BMC07TG provides excellent protection against scratches from bike racks, hitch extenders, and cargo carriers that contact your tailgate during loading. The 150% thicker polypropylene construction cushions metal-on-metal contact that would normally scratch bare paint. However, we recommend using caution when installing heavy rack systems to avoid excessive concentrated pressure in any single spot.
Our polypropylene fiber construction maintains flexibility and protective qualities in temperatures as low as -40°F. Unlike rubber mats that become stiff and brittle in cold weather, the BMC07TG remains pliable and shock-absorbent throughout winter months. The mat won’t crack when you load frozen equipment or encounter ice buildup. We extensively tested cold-weather performance in northern climates to ensure year-round reliability.
No special treatment is necessary. Simply clean your tailgate surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove any dirt, oils, or wax residue before installation. Position the mat on your tailgate and press firmly across the entire surface to activate the hook-and-loop fasteners. The mat is ready for immediate use after installation. Some users prefer to let the adhesive cure for 24 hours before loading extremely heavy items, though this isn’t required.
The BedRug BMC07TG offers three key advantages over rubber mats: 150% greater thickness for superior impact protection, waterproof polypropylene construction that won’t crack or fade, and a custom-molded fit specific to GM truck tailgates. Rubber mats typically use universal sizing that leaves gaps, absorb UV damage leading to brittleness, and provide minimal cushioning. Our fiber technology also offers better cargo grip and cleaner aesthetics than smooth rubber surfaces.
