    The black plastic that fastens onto the top part of the tailgate is missing a clip/fastener.
    1. Is there a special name for it other than clip/fastener?
    2. Is it something for which I can somehow just change a single clip/fastener or will I be forced to buy an entire plastic piece that goes across the entire tailgate?

    thanks for anyone who can answer this.

    Oh bummer. I see what you mean. Looks like those clips are molded into the part itself. Random internet images:

    You might be able to redneck something together with a large generic 'Christmas tree clip' and epoxy or glue, but Im not sure how well that would work.

    Unfortunately you will need a new top cap scuff guard. I just did a quick google search and if you don’t want to go with OEM they’re lots of aftermarket.
