Default TAilgate handle ?
Does anyone here know how to remove the tailgate handle?

I've been looking at it and for the life of me can't find a way to take it out!

Thanks in advance!!!!

The plastic outside part you just have to pull it off. Then take the plastic part off the inside and you will see 3 bolts
