Overview
The Bushwacker 49517 is an OE Style Ultimate BedRail Cap sized for Chevrolet truck beds. No vehicle years or model names are attached to this part number, so fit is not confirmed for any specific Chevrolet truck.
The rail protector is molded from Dura-Flex 2000 TPO, with 100% UV protection and extra-thick walls for impact. Its OEM matte black finish has an OE textured surface, with smoothly finished edges and close tolerances.

Before bonding a cap
Bed rail caps shield the edge where gear and tailgates make contact. Since this cap bonds to the rail instead of bolting on, the surface underneath matters as much as the cap itself. Any paint that is flaking or rust that is spreading should be dealt with first, because a bond on unstable material will fail sooner than expected.
Use a clean, dry workspace, and keep the adhesive side free of dust until it is placed. Temperature affects how well adhesive grips, so work in mild conditions when possible. Position the cap with care on first contact, since moving a bonded part tends to tear the adhesive and weaken the hold.
- Clean the rail with a degreaser and dry it fully
- Treat any rust or loose paint before mounting
- Dry-fit the cap and mark its position with tape
- Avoid touching the adhesive side with bare fingers
