    Truck is a little over a month old and the black TACOMA tailgate inserts are lifting off, tried pressing down on them, but will lift off again within seconds. Suppose the adhesive has been contaminated already. Just kinda sucks they didn't last. Never really cared much for the inserts, I'll just remove them.

    Has it happened to anyone else?

    I'm with the other guys, 4 yrs and no problems. My guess is they didn't clean the surface before applying the tailgate inserts to the truck.

    No problem with mine. Maybe because I don't have them?

    Sounds like the dealer didn’t clean the surface before sticking the letter on. FWIW mine look as new as day one.

    if they are on the window sticker as a charge or part of a package, then its a warranty issue if under 1yr.

    I just took them off, i like it better without. Took like 35 min to take off the leftover adhesive with goo gone.

    And no i didn't use the screwdriver to pry em! Took off the cheesy trd license plate frame i put on earlier.
