A crossover box sits directly on painted bed rails and moves against them, a fraction of an inch at a time, for years. Without something in between you get scratched rails and, because aluminum against steel in the wet is a battery, galvanic corrosion. This is the foam that goes between them. Fits any UWS crossover tool box. One length of adhesive foam stripping.
What's Included:
- One length of adhesive foam stripping
Features
Protects the Bed Rails From Scratches
A layer of foam between the box and the paint takes the movement instead of the finish taking it. It is far cheaper than repainting a bed rail.
Guards Against Galvanic Corrosion
Aluminum sitting directly on a steel bed rail in the wet corrodes electrolytically. The foam separates the two metals, which is the actual fix, not just a cosmetic one.
Adhesive Backed
It sticks straight to the underside of any UWS crossover box, so fitting it is a clean-and-stick job.

About UWS
UWS is short for United Welding Services, a truck storage brand in the CURT Group, a Lippert company. The reason UWS catalogs a part like this one at all is the same reason its boxes are worth buying: a tool box is a long-lived thing bolted to a working truck, and the pieces that actually wear out are the handle, the lock, the gas strut, the gasket and the cables. UWS keeps those available as individual service parts instead of treating a worn latch as the end of the box.

Prestige Truck is an authorized UWS dealer. This is a genuine UWS service part in factory packaging, not an aftermarket copy, so it carries the fit and the finish the original part left the plant with.
