Wife took the truck to Orlando the other night for my grandson's surgery. He's fine, just needed to fix his being "tongue tied". Well this morning at breakfast she tells me that the rear liftgate applique for the camera was falling off the back hatch and she pushed it back in place. What!? Daughter went outside and said that it looked like some jerk tried to pry it off with a screwdriver and we figured that the alarm scared him off from completing his nefarious deed. New ones are $480+. I bought parts of two to make a new one for way less than half of that off ebay a little while ago.
The rear camera is not clicked or bolted into place, it is melted into place! Can't be re-melted so we'll have to use nuts and bolts to secure it this time.
The applique has this chrome Putco piece over it, I left it on for greater visibility, you would be surprised at how many of these things are rear ended when you read Car Faxes all day. But the plastic chrome was starting to bubble anyway and plan to leave it off. That handle below is also covered in chrome and we'll leave that for now. Need to pick up some more RTV for a temporary fix until the parts come in.
