Hi All - Just a heads up that if you use your open tailgate for things like, perhaps, leaning on to put on golf shoes, I found out the hard way yesterday that the cables were completely rusted through at where they anchor to the body and they both snapped. I was able to take out my anger on the golf ball however. Will try to replace them this weekend.

Thanks - missed that one. Ugh

Did you replace yours? Where did you get the replacement cables? Mine sags a little more on one side (I believe it is the constant sitting on that side to change the shoes for golfing). Thanks

I haven't replaced mine, I painfully managed to unblock (WD-40 helped a lot), clean and drown them in grease, so they still work. I suppose they can be ordered from any dealer...

I ordered 2 replacement cables from roverlandparts for $30/each which includes the mounting screws/washers. Dealer wanted $118/each plus separate charge for hardware.

Great help. My cable just completely disintegrated so I've ordered 2 new ones from Roverland. Thanks
