Default Tailgate Cap

Hey guys,


I am looking for a TailGate cap for my 2005 QC RAM. Not just any though. I see these ones on a lot of trucks and have never been able to find one. The are a little thicker, the top of it is flat, and the back portion has a curve. It almost looks like a mini wing kind of. Hard to explain im trying to find a photo.

Anyone know what I am talking about and know of a place I can pick one up online?

Thats exactly what I was looking for. These things are attached with Double Sided tape right? I have a Line-x box liner, think it would stick to the top and inside of the tailgate which is lined?

I just installed one on my 05 QCSB. YOu have to cut off the top of the bedliner (if you have one) and drill 4 holes for the crush anchors. There is tape on the bedside lip to keep it from shifting.

I bought mine on ebay for 60.00 from some dealer in ohio.

Totally makes the backside alot nicer. Plus it doubles as a nice grip.

The double-sided tape is on the front side. I had to trim the hard rubber coating that is my bedliner to make it fit right. Covers up any blemishes on the top of the tailgate and lines up great with the right tonneau cover.
