Was going to try to see how this spoiler was fitted to my tailgate, so I slowly lifted up on it to find this


I think Im coming to the conclusion that my truck may have once been in a fender bender or something

Also there is a spot(s) on the left site of the tailgate that look like bondo type stuff, idk Im not a body man. But I can definitely see a couple big blemishes. I snapped a couple of pics, but Idk if you'll be able to spot it:




::::EDIT:::::::
Tried to point arrows around where the 2 blemishes are. Idk if it helped or not

 

Seems to be a paint blemish for sure. I know back a few years GM did have a issue with this on alot of its white vehicles. As for the stuff under the spoiler, it could just be glue, if you are talking about the holes, all the gates have them that has the spoilers

 

Yes, I freaked out too soon. I was un-aware that the gates where that way. I just need to get a plastic cover piece or decide what route I want to go, maybe line-x it.

As far as the paint blemish, I guess Ill get some quotes this week, cause that is an eye sore for sure

 

Its been painted before. Under the cap u can see the two shades of white. Yep it looks like body filler if prepped unproperly it will "bleed" through.

 

Did you buy the truck new? The white trucks are known to be the ones that had the most bodywork and were not the straightest from the factory. It could have also been damaged after delivery and the dealer fixed it at well. Of course if it was used, there is always a possibility that the tailgate was damaged by the previous owner.

 

No I bought it used. Either way Im not bitter, I just want to fix it ASAP. Im taking the spoiler off. Anyone know where to get the plastic piece that comes factory at the top of the tailgate?

 

I shaved the tailgate and the top part it looks 10000000×××××× better

 

got a pic ? ... true

 

White trucks also have the CRAPPIEST paint jobs from the factory.

Im seriously starting to believe its a single stage paint job. I have chips on my tailgate...like I was doing 120 for 50 miles....in reverse.

 

FML :brickwall: I'm prolly gonna get it shaved, I was just curious as to what it looks like
