If your pickup's tailgate is sagging, won't latch, or has a loose handle, this comprehensive kit includes the most commonly failed parts needed to rebuild the rear truck bed door.

The set ships new and is backed by a one-year warranty for added peace of mind.

What parts are included and why does that matter?

This rebuild kit bundles all the hardware typically required for a full tailgate refresh so you won't have to hunt for individual replacement pieces. Combining the handle, bezel, clips, cables, bolts, hinges and strikers ensures correct alignment and smoother installation.

• 1 tailgate handle and 1 bezel for reliable operation and a finished look
• 2 cable straps, 2 cable bolts, and 2 latch locks to restore secure opening/closing
• 4 hinges with 8 hinge bolts to correct sag and maintain proper tailgate alignment
• 2 latch strikers and 2 tailgate clips to ensure a positive, consistent latch engagement

Will this kit fit my Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra?

The APPERFiT kit is designed to fit a wide range of Silverado and Sierra models from 1999 through 2007, across 1500, 2500, 3500 and HD variants where noted. Check the listed years and model designations for compatibility; this kit replaces many common OEM part numbers for a direct-fit replacement.

• Fits Chevrolet Silverado 1500/2500/3500 (classic and HD model years 1999–2007 as specified)
• Fits GMC Sierra 1500/2500/3500 for the same model years and configurations
• Replaces OEM numbers such as 15997911, 15228539, GM1915105 and others for cross-reference

How durable and reliable are the replacement components?

These parts are manufactured from sturdier materials than typical worn originals to withstand daily use and exposure to road conditions. The components are dimensioned to OEM specifications to help prevent premature wear caused by poor fit or misalignment.

• Engineered to match factory dimensions for correct fit and travel
• Hardware treated for corrosion resistance and long-term durability
• Complete kit minimizes mismatched parts that can accelerate failure

How difficult is installation and what tools will I need?

Installation is a straightforward bolt-and-clip replacement project for most mechanically inclined owners with basic hand tools. Some disassembly of the inner tailgate panel or bedside access may be required depending on exact model and trim.

• Typical tools: ratchet, socket set, trim removal tool, and pliers
• Installation guides or OEM diagrams simplify alignment of hinges and striker points
• Many repairs can be completed in an afternoon by one person
