Default Broken tailgate handle QUICK fix with zip ties....LOL

I thought you guys would get a laugh out of my "why is the parts department CLOSED on the weekends" problem that I had today with my tailgate handle. It's CRAZY to me how a dealership can think they will sell cars on the weekend and NOT have some clown standing there to sell parts when everyone has the time to fix their vehicles......LOL......oh well.....they followed me around the dealership for a while and got some exercise until they realized I was just messing around with them.....HA HA!
