Is This Annoying Anyone Else?

Grumpy Tooch · May 11, 2011

On the tailgate of my 06 Sierra is the plastic bezel around the handle kepps falling off. It's always loose then tabs get broken and fall off. I'm on getting my third one, these are all OE quality parts. Is there somewhere I can get an ORIGINAL Bezel?

I know this is a menial question but any help greatly appreciated

I bought one from Autozone in the "HELP" section and have had no problem at all with it. I've even had to take it back off to replace the rod clips. My truck is an 01 so I'm not sure if the bezel is the same.

I'm surprised you couldn't use silicone or some type of trim adhesive or 3M two sided tape besides the tabs to hold it on. I actually have my taillights held in with silicone because the screws stripped out, this is on my 95 and not my HD. plowking

You know I guess that would work, I still have the thing with no tabs on it..gonna try, thanks

I had the same problem...I took my heat gun to the two upper tabs and bent them up a little. When I snapped it back in it was tight. No more rattle since.

i broke my tabs on my factory one awhile ago and used double sided adhesive tape to hold it on...needless to say it well off in the dead cold of winter...i went to autozone bought one from autozone for like 5 bucks and its worked great..no sense in spending extra cash for an oem part like that its just a hunk of plastic thats made for looks
