Some of the plastic clips on the tailgate cap (plastic piece on top of tailgate) and it is loose. I have removed it before it blows off. I'm trying to get a new one or find a perm fix for this. Has anyone else had this problem? I could order one from the dealership, but what's to keep the next one from doing the same thing?

Also, I haven't been able to find any inexpensive alternative online. Anyone know of a good site for ordering OEM parts?

 

Tasca.

mine has been there for 2 yrs and 0 problems...did you carry a load in the bed and catch it on the plastic when unloading?

 

I don't know if this will solve your problem but it keeps the plastic from getting scared up.

Fast parts network has them for a decent price.

 

that is a decent price.

it was just about double that at the dealership I think.

im not sure what tasca charges, I havent checked there.

let me know what you find out, I might replace mine too, the previous owner kinda messed it up.

 

Since you already have it off, get some clear silicone and run a couple beads along the top and side of the tailgate. Take your trim piece and just press it back into place. That trim will never come loose again.

 

It appears the PO dragged something out of the bed and damaged the Cap. I might try the silicone trick, was also thinking of double sided 3m tape.
