EZ Down tailgate......failed big time!
Anyone else have their EZ Down tailgate mechanism totally fail on them? Total metal fatigue on my '05. The metal plate just twisted all to hell.

I've had mine for a couple 2-3 months maybe. All that happened with mine is the clip that holds the shock onto the pivot mount came off so the shock popped off. Not a big deal, went right back on.

This is the first complaint about the metal actually twisting and fatiguing causing the failure. Most have just observed the device falling apart. Maybe you could return it and tell us how it goes.
EDIT: Upon further posts, HarshReality001 actually experienced a similar event. Last edited by dubie2003 : 06-29-2008 at 03:11 AM.
