87Chief Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I was about to roll some bedliner on my bed yesterday until I noticed my tailgate not closing properly. I looked on the side and one of the rubber pieces is falling off and coming apart. They are riveted on, so I'm not sure how to uninstall them and get new ones.. Anyone know? I can get some pictures later today hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeepman Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 You need to drill them out and re- rivet new ones on however there are NONE available anymore (I kinda bought up everything I could find in North America a few years ago and I think I have 10 left of the longer ones) If you can find good ones in the Junkyard you can drill the rivets and re-use them... They are two different sizes These are the tailgate side Part Number 5500-4888 The Box Side Part number 5500-4883 There might be some Old stock left out there that I didn't get because it wasn't listed with Chrysler at the time I cleaned them out so you can search the part numbers to see if someone has any...

mikekaz1 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I mean they look easy enough to make out of a small block of rubber. so not a crazy big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebvance Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 My tail gate closed good about 2 out of every 10 times. I have even had it fall of when I opened it a couple times.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
