Howdy Folks,
I have a 2004 100 Series and have just received one of Kevin's tailgate lids (Wagon Gear), firstly it is awesome......
Now for the problem, on my car the key barrel is held in place by 2 bolts that are attached to a bracket that is spot welded to the inner tailgate skin. Once I do the cuts the bracket will be removed leaving nothing to hold the key barrel in place. It mounts and is held in place from the inside, not the outside with a retaining clip on the inside like some of the pic's I've seen of other installs.
I'm thinking Toyota may have changed the design from earlier models to later models - but don't know, hence the email.
Any help / ideas appreciated, sorry no pics at the moment but will try to get some if it will help.
Thanks from Steve.
