As stated above I have some cosmetic damage to tailgate top edge, most likely from the previous owner hauling something that hung out from the bed. I was ready to replace the plastic "spoiler" as I think its call but realized there would still be an edge prone to damage and at $275 for just the painted part I thought there had to be a better way.
Hours of searching did not turn up anything for the AV as a tailgate protector so I started to think outside the box. I finally broke loose with my credit card and ordered an edge guard custom cut from "TheCornerGuardStore", a 60" x 2" x 2", .085" Thick, Textured Vinyl. The cost is way less than replacing the plastic part on the tailgate and will cover the gouged up edges but best of all it should provide protection in days to come.
Has anyone else come up with an alternative? $40 and change is much cheaper that $275 and my labor installing a new piece that will still be prone to damage.
