Default Re: “Simple solution to tailgate breaking problem on 07-08 Tundras- post 2”

I had the same problem with my 1992 C1500. Same design. Same sort of plastic "push in" clips. My "wrap in safety wire" solution didn't look as good but it was a quick and never fail fix.

I like your fix better. My tailgate is apart for some paint repair (garage rash) and I my reassemble with the push washers for a "just in case" fix.
