Default Tail Gate Cap / Spoiler

Besides the 4 torx screws holding the plastic tailgate cap / spoiler on, what else is there?

I removed the 4 screws from the outboard side but the inboard side is still attached somehow....and I don't want to snap off any silly little tabs or clips.

I bought a hardshell box cover and it is for a Ram but not for this particular tailgate.....

After removing the bolts two sided tape would be the only thing left holding it down

Not that I doubted you, really, but yes it's tape. Probably designed to hold the tiles on the space shuttle.

So it's off and the tonneau cover has been adjusted to fit nice. I also bought 2 new "props" from Princess Auto (Canada's Harbour Freight) for $40.

Did I mention the the truck is Black and the tonneau cover is Silver? But my enclosed work trailer is Silver as well.

Dilemmas, dilemmas.......
