    I just got a Pop 'n Lock electrical tailgate lock and was wondering how to remove the inner panel of the tail gate. It's probably not original, but I do not see any attachment point. Is there som secret ninja move I need to know? Thanks.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    At one time some one put that stainless cover on.

    That needs removed to access the inside of the tailgate.

    I hope that thing wraps around the bottom of the tailgate and has fasteners you haven't noticed yet. Otherwise, probably glued on, which would suck to remove without bending the hell out of it.
