Tailgate molding
My molding piece on my tailgate is very loose and can almost totally be removed. I really don't want to replace it because the cheapest I have seen is $50. Has anyone repaired theirs? When I say tailgate molding, I mean the black piece that is on top of the tailgate when it is closed. I have an 04 with no bedliner yet.

Mine came loose from unloading the snowmobile/dirtbike and parts grabbing onto it and ripping on it. I cleaned the paint a little and added some structural silicone underneath, hammered it back on and it hasn't moved a bit since. I work in the glass business so don't know if you will be able to find structural silicone. But I'm sure you could use some construction adhesive and it will hold just fine.

Currently my truck does not have a bedliner. Do any bedliners come over the top or is this piece necessary regardless of bedliner. I am antichrome on my truck so chrome would be out of the picture for me too
