Awaits a few - My tailgate has cracked, how do I repair it threads....

i paid £225

how much does this cost, roughly??

Mine was welded and never cracked.






Go to a reputable bodyshop and let them do a good job

No problems with fibreglass here.

Welding plates can sink :)

fibreglass ones are shit i made the mistake of getting one

you can get boot flush panels that fit over your existing one...

www.abstyling.co.uk do them for about £50ish

Get it welded. it wont crack as per a fibre glass one.

Any half decent bodyshop will do it for you

im wanting to get a flushed tailgate for my car but im unsure of how to go about it would i get a hold of a donor tailgate and flush that and have it sprayed ?

or would i just have my tailgate flushed ?

or i dunno if im right in sayin this but can u buy ready flushed ones that have been done by pro's ?

and finally what way of flushing gives best results ???

thanks folks
