Tailgate cap recommendations
Got a 2011 f250.
Tailgate cap is missing, and the top is a little beat up from use. What options do I have?
I see those $30 black metal after market ones on Amazon, but can't find one for my 2011 f250.
If I go OEM and spend $60-70 im worried that some of my holes for the clips won't work since they are bent up, so it might fly off. Could I use 3m tape and some self tapping screws to secure it?
I see this a lot, so sure there's a simple solution.
Thanks

When I bought my '13 it was missing the cap, but not dented up. I ordered a new OEM cap from Amazon of all places and when I removed the tailgate access panel to replace the cap I put the angled lip part of the panel in my brake and lightly tweaked it a tad so it clamps tighter on the front, bottom edge of the plastic cap. I can't say that I was necessarily in need of tweaking, but I figured it wouldn't hurt and at least I have peace of mind that the new cap has a better chance of not flying off.
