APPERFiT tailgate hardware rebuild kit replaces worn factory components to restore a secure, smooth-opening rear truck bed door for 1999–2007 Silverado and Sierra models.

If your pickup's tailgate wiggles, won't latch, or the handle feels loose, this comprehensive repair set provides the parts needed to rebuild the rear gate assembly. Designed to match OEM dimensions, the kit supplies replacement handle, bezel, clips, cables, hinges, bolts and striker plates so you can avoid costly dealer repair and get the tailgate working reliably again.

How does this kit restore a failing tailgate?

The kit replaces the common wear points that cause rattling, sagging, and incomplete latching—parts that degrade from repeated use and exposure. Installing the included components refits the gate to proper alignment and restores positive engagement when closing.

• Complete replacement of handle, bezel, clips, hinges, bolts and latch strikers
• Cable assemblies and mounting hardware for secure operation
• Components sized to match OEM fit for proper alignment and function
