    Brand new.

    Could you pop the tailgate off and slide it into the bed on a blanket and not take off the wiring harness and smack the crap out of the screw in that direction instead? is that possible to do?

    Oh maybe. I didn't think of that. The wiring is pretty tight though, not sure it would work.

    Any ideas on how to remove the bolt head I snapped off when making an adjustment to the prinsu cross rails? Maybe put a googly eye there?

    The OEM’s can’t be greased. I’d be worried more about the wear. These things were loose. You could move them about with no effort.

    A small easy out and a drill bit after soaking with some penetrant fluid possibly. Or if there’s enough to take the bar out and grab with some vise clamp pliers.

    I had my son-in-law help me when I partially removed the tailgate. He used impact tool and it would not budge.

    The vendor gave me credit for it and I ended up shipping to a member here for free!

    Same here. Screw didn't want to budge, I didn't want to fight with it. I ended up going with the Sabelco instead as well.

    Fixed the rattle after my rear lift install.

    So when I was getting under the truck to check the torque on every bolt I grabbed the spare tire to help slide myself under the truck and found my rattle.
    I didn't tighten the spare all the way when I put it back.

    Gotta love the easy fixes.
