Tundra, F-Series Installation Instructions:

Rotate the tailgate and partially remove it from the hinge. Allow enough room to insert the bottom half of the part

Install the bottom piece onto the hinge cup then install the tailgate back onto the truck

Once the bottom piece is installed, reinstall the tailgate back on the hinge

Install the upper piece by connecting the hinge point

Rotate the part to the closed position

Install the security screw

We do recommend you secure the screw with epoxy putty, but this will make it hard to remove
