Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I get samples of the boot?
Yes, we offer a sample pack that includes each of the boot styles. Getting a sample will help you know and understand how the boot installs and attaches to your vehicle or special project. To order a sample pack go to Boot Sample
- Can you make the accordion gasket in different colors?
Sorry the boot only comes in black. We have never tested it, but the rubber is epdm and with the right paint is can be colored. From the research the recommended paint should be an acrylic coating specifically designed for epdm rubber. Usually this is paint for roofing. Latex paint should be avoided.
- What do you recommend is the smallest radius cut out in the corners of the opening?
The recommended minimum radius is 1 inch for the boot for corners.
