Re: Tailgate handle bolts

Alright, what an I doing wrong? I bought a factory gate with no hardware. So I purchased a new handle assembly. It did not fit. When bolted in, the handle hits the gate. Took it apart and it looks bent. Box was beat up, maybe damage from shipping. Called the company and they sent a replacement. I could tell it looked the same but tried it anyway. Same thing. Hits on the handle opening. It will not lift up. An I just dealing with cheap aftermarket parts? Or am I missing something simple? I have no original to go off. It hits where I'm pointing in the pics.
