Market analysis

Buying a used tailgate: what to check
- Inspect bottom lip seam for hidden rust: Examine inner bottom hem flanges and drain slots for hidden bubbling rust beneath seam-sealer rubber.
- Verify power liftgate motor and latch inclusion: Check whether automatic power trunk latches, cinch motors, and liftgate struts are included with the shell.
- Check camera mount and handle bezel fitment: Verify license plate light bezels, backup camera mounts, and keyless entry release buttons match your trim.
- Confirm heated glass defroster grid continuity: Examine rear window defroster line traces for scratches, broken grid lines, or snapped wire terminal tabs.
- Adjust hinge shims and striker for proper alignment: Align tailgate hinges and latch strikers carefully to maintain uniform body gaps and weatherstrip seals.
