Pukonger 3D Tailgate Insert Letters — Matte Black 2016–2023 Fit, ABS with Strong 3M Adhesive

Pukonger matte-black 3D tailgate insert letters are precision-cut ABS emblems that replace your truck’s factory inserts for 2016–2023 tailgates and attach with strong 3M adhesive for a durable, raised look.

These replacement letters are made from weather-resistant ABS plastic and designed specifically to fit the tailgate grooves on 2016 through 2023 models. Unlike thin vinyl stickers, the 3D raised letters give your truck a textured, factory-finished appearance that resists fading, abrasion, and chemicals. Each letter comes with pre-applied adhesive so installation is quick and clean when the tailgate groove is prepared properly.

Will these letters fit my 2016–2023 tailgate?

Yes — the set is tailored for the 2016 through 2023 tailgate groove dimensions and will not fit other model years. The inserts are cut to match OEM spacing and mounting locations so they sit flush in the factory recesses.

• Compatible specifically with 2016–2023 tailgate configurations
• Pre-shaped to factory groove dimensions for a precise fit
• Not recommended for earlier or later model-year tailgates

How do these 3D letters hold up to weather and washes?

Constructed from high-quality ABS, the letters are engineered to withstand UV exposure, rain, and routine car washes without peeling or warping. The matte-black finish is formulated to resist fading and the ABS base offers chemical and abrasion resistance for long-term durability.

• ABS construction resists deformation and cracking
• Matte finish reduces visible scratches and glare
• 3M adhesive keeps pieces secure through washes and weather

How easy is the installation and what tools do I need?

Installation is straightforward and typically takes 2–5 minutes once the groove is clean and dry. Wipe the tailgate recess with alcohol or a suitable cleaner, allow it to dry, and use a hot air gun or hair dryer to warm the surface for better adhesive bonding before pressing each letter into place.

• Prep: clean groove with alcohol cloth or cleaning liquid
• Heat briefly with a hot air gun or hair dryer to improve adhesion
• Press each letter firmly into the groove for secure attachment

What materials and adhesive are used?

The letters are molded from durable ABS plastic chosen for its abrasion and chemical resistance. Each letter includes a strong 3M-style adhesive pre-applied to the back to provide reliable adhesion to painted metal tailgates.

• Premium ABS for toughness and weather resistance
• Matte black finish for a subtle, modern look
• Strong industrial adhesive pre-applied for quick mounting

Who this is for: If you own a truck with a 2016–2023 tailgate and want a clean, factory-style upgrade without drilling or extensive modification, these Pukonger 3D matte-black insert letters are a simple, long-lasting option. They suit owners who prefer a subtle, textured branding accent that holds up to daily driving, outdoor exposure, and automated car washes, and they’re ideal for DIY installers who want a quick, reversible enhancement.
