tailgate cap to cover holes in tailgate?
Hello everyone. I just installed a used tonneau on my 06 with the tailgate spoiler on it. Since the tonneau will not close with the spoiler on, I removed it to find 4 holes in the tailgate. Anyone know of any brand of black plastic tailgate caps that are long enough to cover these holes? Thanks!

I had the same problem when I got my Bed cap, it was even specced specifically for my model year (07), when I took the spoiler off the holesleft were horrid and the cap didn't come any blanks for the holes, so I modded the bed cap window so the spoiler could go back on.
Not sure if you'll find anything specific for these, I'd say you've got 4 choices:
1 Find something that fit the holes to blank them of by trial and error, but it will still look messy.
2 Go to the expense of having the holes filled in properly and the tailgate resprayed
3 See if the earlier tailgate without the spoiler will fit your truck and find a matching colour one from a breakers.
4 Have the tonneau cover modded and resprayed.

Anyway you can either get a vinyl to cover it, the tailgate cap (OEM), or have the holes filled and the gate repainted.
Here's pics of mine with the tonneau
