I know 06 n 07 will fit.. I cant find 05 n up. Can't find them on the net or any local stores. Don't want to go to the junk yard bc ill just end up with rusty cables that will snap again.

I'm kinda worried about mine, now...
The locking mechanism, whatever u call them that holds the gate up when closed is sticking as if u have the handle pulled all the time. Even if it seems closed, you have to slam it shut to really get it to lock. Anyway, when i was pulling out of my driveway the other day the gate fell open and snapped both cables in the area where they bend. I was surprised how rusted they were. Couldn't tell they were so rusty with the coating on them.
