with a little cutting of the liner right around the screw, it won't be hard.

You can tell them NOT to spray the bolts.
I don't have a power lock so I don't care.

This is the first thing I do when I buy a new truck now.

I finally ordered the stuff to remove my tailgate step assist handle. Photos to come once the parts arrive and installed. I ordered online from Sunrise Ford of North Hollywood and got a great deal on both the access panel and the associated screws. If anyone is looking for one, I ordered from Francisco@sunriseford.com

That looks pretty damn good. Mine didnt come with a step or stripper pole. Less to worry about i guess.

When you remove the pole do NOT cut off the two larger tabs. Just cut out the center portion to allow the access panel to sit flush. (See photo below)
