Default Re: Question on mounting factory tail light guards

If they didn't come with tape I'd say they are the wrong parts, may just want to wait and call them Monday

I have had problem in the past with parts being packaged wrong (incorrect part label and the parts were coming from Mecico) and had to send the parts back for correct ones.

I've seen the factory taillight guards both ways. It seems like some people have the ones that come with the 3m tape and some people have the ones with the pre-drilled holes. If you do decide to drill into your rig BE CAREFUL!!!

They changed styles in '05 I believe and went from the kind that use the 3M tape to the type that you got with the small Allen head screw. You'll be required to drill holes in the body in order to mount the new style...

My ride is an '05, and the taillight guards mount with the tape. If you decide to drill, make sure you put a blob of silicone on/around the hole to prevent water intrusion.

Mine's an '05 too (bought mid-year) and it came with the new-style taillight guards. The holes you drill use a rubber plug that you put sealant on and they've got a threaded insert that causes the rubber plug to expand and not back out of the hole. Measure 17 times and drill once...
