Finally got around to fixing my tailgate on my truck. After 20 years, the passenger side tailgate rod retention clip let go, and my tailgate was stuck in the closed position. Rod would jump out of the latch and not actuate the latch.
saw a bunch of different sizes on the Internet, so I figured I would just swing by the stealership and buy an OEM part. Bastards don’t sell the plastic, degradable clip—they want you to buy the whole passenger side latch to get the stupid clip.
pulled the latch, took some measurements, jumped on EBay, and $9.49 later I am back in business with a couple spares to stash under the back seat. I hate dealerships.
