Mft cap replacement

[rightushook]

Hey guys,

I jumped off my tailgate while sitting on it and broke the plastic cap on the multi function tailgate. You can see one of the clips has broken and now the cap sticks up. I've been trying to find a part number for this piece and I'm not having any luck. It's the left side or 60 part of the 60/40 split.
Any help would be appreciated.

Respectfully, John

I can find pretty much any other part for the MFT online but I haven't been able to find the caps. Have you been to the parts department at your dealership?

I called this morning and dealer said it was 30 bucks for the drivers side one. I went ahead and got it. Parts guy said they're going to start stocking it as it's likely going to be a common issue. hopefully it's not terribly difficult to install.

I know now to be more careful, I don't believe it will be a huge issue on the areas other than the seam.

Thanks for posting this. I'll be more careful with mine from now on. I haven't had it this truck for very long, and have only sat on the tailgate once.

Just in case though, would you mind posting part numbers for these parts if you can?

Can you post a picture of what part we are talking about? I want to know what NOT to step/jump on.

The black plastic piece on top of the tailgate.

Thanks Mike!

Yes I will when I get to the dealer tomorrow. He said it would be there by noon tomorrow.

And yep that's the correct part, I was sitting on the seam part and lifted myself up to jump off and my pants caught the edge by the seam and pulled it up and broke the tab holding it in. No big deal, I'd just watch when you go to get off.

Cost about 25 from the dealer and they had it overnighted for free. Did not know they were called spoilers.

Needing to replace the right side spoiler. Did you have to take the tailgate inner panel off first or did the 'spoiler' just pop up and off?

Thanks!

It was just pulled off, then snap new one in

"Spoiler" because they actually help direct air flow. Watch the video here. Pretty cool.
