plastic tailgate cap

noticed that the plastic tailgate cap was missing this morning- hoping nobody had it in their windshield this morning- i guess it blew off since i doubt anyone would take it? solid gate without a step..... i may add a couple screws to the new one when i get it.....

mine has been hanging on by a thread since I bought it a year ago. Some of the plastic tabs are broken, I pulled it off once to see what was up with it and the tailgate has a large dent under the cover. Can't see it with the cover on but it was still annoying to discover.

I bet your old one had plastic tabs broken and I wouldn't be screwing self tapping screws in my tail gate.

I agree, it's not going to look good and it'll be the first place to start rusting.
