Thanks ...the curve and thickness is different between years so you REALLY have to push it down when drilling your holes. It could tear up your paint - thats how hard it grabs onto the tailgate. I found a video where a guy recommended layers of painters tape under it while installing to save your paint . I did that and was VERY glad I did . My tailgate edge was absolutely beat to hell because this was a University of Florida college maintenance truck . The top edge had several dents and gouges from being backed into stuff with the tailgate down I surmised. Also many dents on its surface. I tried to get the dents out best I could but its really tough along that top edge. The gate was also bowed from being overloaded I guess too . So I eventually gave up .
