Exclamation Can't find Tailgate part name!!

So the tailgate has those little circular type hinges. Inside those is a little rectangle plug so the tailgate sits snug on the box hinge...
My little plastic plug fell out when I was messing with tailgate, and I can't figure out the name of the part. I even looked for it in the manual and found nothing...
Anyone help me out?

Haha no, i lost the part! Lol i get what you mean though.
The "circular hinge" i'm talking about is between # 1 & 12 in the link above. It is what the tailgate pivots on.
Inside that circle there is a plastic insert that goes inside there. Mine is no longer there & cant find the name of the part

I have a 2010, not sure if parts will match up. ( should ). I can post a pic of mine and you can see if you can point out the part there. Then maybe someone can help?

So in the photo attached is where the "pivot point" is on the tailgate. Now if you take your tailgate off, on the inside of that will be a plastic insert i need that part haha
I guess i could just stop at the dealership on my way home tomorrow. I'm sure they'll want $10 for a $1 part though.
