Abstract: Compressible foamed elastomer pads for sealing the ends of truck bodies at a dock door opening are shielded from wear by corners of the truck ends, by means of facing strips composed of a tough flexible sheet material, such as extruded polyvinyl chloride sheeting about 1/8 inch thick, which are hung loose over and cover substantially the entire length and width of the faces of said pads, have on their upper ends means holding them yieldably onto top portions of the pads, and are confined next to the pad faces yet kept displaceable relative thereto with motions of a truck body pressing against them.
