Re: Tailgate Band How-to

i think the blazer tailgate has alot shallower insert depth because of the electric window mech. and the truck has alot deeper insert spot due to it not having anything inside.

You have to flip your handle to get started.

Re: Tailgate Band How-to

If your truck tailgate had the band, then it is as simple as 1) Flipping the handle as N2TRUX stated. 20 use the brackets from your orginal band and the screws to hold them to the tailgate. Just swap the brackets to the Blazer band and bolt it in. Your done
