Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used tailgate
- Verify feature provisions such as backup camera mount cutouts, keyless entry release solenoids, power liftgate struts, and integrated step ladders.
- Inspect bottom hem seams and lower drain holes for rust perforation, rot, or previous dent repair filler.
- Check hinge pin bushings, latch alignment hooks, and support cable attachment points for metal fatigue or bend damage.
- Match bodyline contours, spoiler mounting cutouts, and emblem indentations between base and sport trim models.
