I had one on my 2013 and never had any issues with it. I've bought another one for my 2017 but haven't installed it yet.

Drill the rivnut out like you do to remove a rivet. You step up drill bit size till the head pops off, then you get to fish the back side out of the tailgate.I could use some help, if anyone knows how to remove the deezee hardware after the ball breaks off I'm all ears..
Thanks, any ideas on a better replacement? Any special bit I should use to drill it out?Drill the rivnut out like you do to remove a rivet. You step up drill bit size till the head pops off, then you get to fish the back side out of the tailgate.
From what I see I don't see what is broken?Mine broke, but at the lower "socket" part of the strut. I have to call them to see what they'll do for mine.

If I'm not mistaken it's not cracked, that is how it's designed. The spring clip that slides into those groves is what retains the ball mount. You can try bending that clip to better retain the ball.Mine broke, but at the lower "socket" part of the strut. I have to call them to see what they'll do for mine.

They improved the part several years ago with an updated design.Sounds like a cheap, sh&$+y part, but then so many people own one, you probably can't say that out loud because personal biases make those people clap back at you to avoid the cognitive dissonance of being a person who purchased a sh&$+y part.
