I have a 2007 Expedition EL Limited. I was cleaning out the back end today and noticed a rectangular shaped hole in the interior trim of the liftgate. It is on the bottom, right in the middle, below the pull strap. It looks like there should be a cover of some kind there.

Can anyone take a look at theirs and tell me if I am missing a cover, or if the hole is supposed to be there.

Thanks in advance

You are missing the cover, mine fell out too. It is just held in by little plastic tabs.. Luckily I found mine in the trunk and I will just glue it on for the lease return.

 

nope.. there shoould be a cover.. Mine is gone as well, looks as though the plastic tabs are busted.

Has anyone's elses "leather pull loop" started to rip?

 

Never touch mine, I have the power hatch..

 

On the 07 we used to have, it was missing. It did not bother me too much as we had the power liftgate and I just tucked the pull strap into it like it was meant to go there. Our "new" EL that we just got to replace the last one has the cover. I did think about getting a replacement for our last one, but never got around to it.

I guess I am too tall to use the strap. I just close the hatch by grabbing the bottom of it.
