Tailgate cap

Anyone having troubles with there tail gate cap on '11 and newer trucks?

Mines about one more tail gate opening from falling off. All of the little press in clip ears are gone.

I can lift mine up and down about 1/2 an inch.

I'm going to check with the ford dealer in the morning... Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Ok I'll admit that this is kind of a hank way to fix it but have you thought of mixing up some epoxy adhesive and basically gluing it back on? Tape it down with that green Gorilla tape to put some pressure on while it cures.........or take the TG off, turn it upside down, pour the epoxy in (easier this way) and then let the weight of the TG put the pressure on.

I had to replace the one on my '12 and used HD double sided tape to keep it in place. It's only been about 3 months but seems pretty solid.

tail gate cap

try 100% silicone, sticks too slick surfaces excellent, they use it to glue up fish aquariums,, run as much under there with out making a mess as you dare,,, put a weight ,on a board or similar, wipe off excess that may run out, dry until cured, works,,, used it, on a friends dodge, fell off after 3 months , then we siliconed it,, still on 4 years later
