XLT tailgate bracket broken!
hey dudes. I took off my xlt aluminum trim when i was bringing my truck to get painted. Theres 3 black plastic brackets on the inside of it that attach to the tailgate via 2 or 3 screws on each bracket. Well, stupid me snapped one of my brackets when i was taking it off. Is it possible to glue these things together? if not coudl i get away with just 2 brackets on there? also, i lost the screws that they attach to anyone have any idea what they look like? thanks guys!

We need the year...doncha know!
I just looked in the book, first at 1979, then 1989...only the clips are listed, any other attaching parts...screws, etc. Ford says to "improvise."
The clips may still be available...I dunno...but can only be purchased in a multi-pak of 10-20-?

They have them at ford. 95 % of all yards I deal with in a 150 mile raidius will not separate this type stuff unless trashed (Bent gate) . But try if you find used one good luck. Take a ride out of city limits always trucks sitting around to buy parts off of. Good luck .I always save this type thing when i part truck out . But all i have is a full panel.
The screws are tork head with washer on them.

There are 2 acorn nuts that are on each end of the panel as well as 6 torqs head screws in the middle. I'd just go rob a old junker truck at a yard. Just so you know the Bronco panel will not work. Only F-150, 250, and 350. Good luck.
