Our Gasket Kits will allow you to upgrade your Rugged Road 65 V1 cooler! Adding a gasket seal around the rim will increase ice retention and decrease the risk of any meltwater spilling out.
What's Included: The Gasket Kit comes with an adhesive gasket seal, 2 new hinges, screws, and a screw driver.
It is important to replace the hinges on your cooler when adding the gasket, as the new hinges are slightly taller and will accommodate for the increased height from the gasket. If you do not replace the hinges, the old hinges will wear down and become loose over time. Let us know if you need some assistance or guidance to apply your Gasket Kit!

This Upgrade Is A Must!!!
The gasket kit made my R65-V1 airtight and extended my ice retention by 3 days!! I had to open the lid just to drain it because it was that airtight. This upgrade is a must-have if you own the V1.

Gasket Kit
Easy enough to install, but I really did not need the new lid hinges, my factory installed hinges were just fine. It would be best to sell the gasket alone. $40 is a bit high when all you need is the gasket.

Hi Carlos! Because the gasket adds a tiny bit of height to the cooler, the old hinges may wear down and become loose over time. We recommend at least hanging on to them if you don't plan to change them at this time :)

Fit great
I used some blue painters tape to keep the gasket lined up and it fit great. It sounds good and tight when you close it.
