Thank you for this! I accidently learned how to pop off the right side of the tailgate today, when loading stuff in the back while at Costco. I pushed the tail gate too hard, with too many boxes in the back. The right side lifted up and unhooked itself. I thought I broke the tailgate off the truck. We are a bunch of girls and had no idea what we were doing. But after watching this video, we did okay.
