Tailgate handle latch broken.
Went to pickup some hay and couldn't get the tailgate open. Where can I find the white plastic clips that hold the metal rods onto the tailgate handle bracket thing. (What is it even called?
). The drivers side rod was not connected, and both plastic snaps are broken.
Maybe replace the whole assembly with a locking model?

Tailgate is newer, The truck(at least the bed), was painted, and the tailgate is newer and does not match the paint color of the truck. I was told that the dealer replaced it right before it was sold to me in Feb.
This tailgate is squeaky clean, no marks, or scratches. These stupid plastic clips are a faulty design. If I could weld it would be a easy fix...
