Again, not raging just something I thought you would like to know. after all, that is what were here for. I love this thread and all your knowledge too! I am going to take a lot of this info and get my truck fixed up. whenever I get a job. lol you have done a great job!

Those are repop corner pieces and they don't fit quite right. They "kick" at an angle, so when viewed from the rear they are cocked a bit. Not sure what to do about it other than (a) grind the inside of the top radius a bit or (b) put the old grundgy ones back on.

As far as the tailgate molding - I think that might be the camera. I'll take a look at it in real life when I get outside.
