Consumer Description

THE CONSUMER STATES THAT WHEN THEY UNHOOKED THE TAIL GATE, THE STRAPS HAD BROKEN. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. NLM THE TAILGATE STRAPS ARE COVERED WITH PLASTIC. MOISTURE GETS BEHIND THE PLASTIC COVER AND HOLDS IT TO THE CABLE TO RUST. THE PLASTIC ON THE STRAPS SHOULD BE SEALED AT BOTH ENDS, PREVENTING RUST TO FORM INSIDE. THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT THE TAILGATE CABLES ARE DEFECTIVE-REPLACED CABLES. *SCC
