Tailgate end cap molding broken

has anyone had any luck reattaching their tailgate end cap molding? Mine has a few broken tabs and is hanging on for dear life. A new one is only about $48 with shipping from White bear ford. But if I can reattach I would. I know I could drill a few holes and run in some self taping screws, but that would be quite ugly. Looking for near perfect repair suggestions or donations .

The tab(s) broke when lifting the heavy gate with the step closed one to many times. Using the left side now to close.

Part number 8C3Z9941018AA.

Item 2 in below image...

try some double sided tape. I did that for my other truck and it worked along time.


I eventually lost it though.

Great idea. Some 3m body molding double sided tape should work for a while.

Have the same thing with mine. Left of the step portion has broken tabs. Not real obvious but I know it's loose. I'll try taping it in the spring, too cold now.

I've fought those things since 2007. I ordered my 2015 without the step and that piece is one of the reasons.

I think double sided tape would work great too but if you use your truck moderately you may consider using some fasteners. May be able to make it look nice by using black screws or fastening them on the side somehow.
