What is this part from the bed?

[Wildlifeguy]

I just had my bed lined and when I got home, realized the front cargo loops weren't reinstalled. Easy enough, but also found this with the loops. Can anybody show me where this is supposed to go?

Looks like the tailgate retainer, maybe passenger side?

Thanks, I'll check.

Yup. First thing I thought of…

Fairly certain that’s exactly what it is.

That helped, just found a description online. It is called a tailgate pivot bracket. Haven't found a minute to get away from the desk to go look. Funny how I can find time to search on the internet though.

That's exactly what it is. I know from after having mine done.

I would let whoever sprayed your bed liner no they didn’t put it back together properly

That's not the issue, you have wait at least until the next day to wait for it to cure. They leave it that way so you don't shut the tail gate. Not a big deal.

That's what it was, thanks. They finished it right at closing time yesterday and I'm sure they left the parts off to let it cure overnight. I could have taken it back, but it was easy enough to put back on.

Baloney that part they should’ve put back on it just told you not to shut the tailgate. I had mine done and they just said don’t shut your tailgate for four hours and they put all the pieces back on.
That’s just sloppy work

My fault for putting too much detail in my post. This was intended to be about a part and not quality of service. I realize some have a very good reason for being critical of service. In my case, this is a smallish city and service is never an issue because of the high stakes of reputation. They did an outstanding job on application and would have made it right if I just took the 5 mins to drive back over there. I just wanted to know what that was.
