Question
I HAVE  A  SMALL  DENT  IN  THE  LOWER  RIGHT  TAIL  GATE.  I  THINK  I  CAN  PUSH  IT  OUT  IF  I  COULD  GET  THE  INTERIOR  PLASTIC  PANEL  OFF.  I  HAVEN'T  FOUND  THE  TRICK  TO  REMOVE  IT.   BILL

Answer
Bill.....If you are trying this yourself be prepared to have it look just a little better.
I would seek a paintless dent repair company out and spend the 75 bucks...just my opinion.

If you open your gate there are mounting points that are sometimes covered up with little buttons
that have to be pryed off to reveal the screws.Once these are removed gently pry the trim off. These are clipped on and sometimes break during removal......ching...ching.

Good Luck
