Review on Dorman 38536 Tailgate Cable: Reliable and Stylish in Black by Mike Walters

later Part is neither left nor right. One cable is slightly longer than the other. However, my 2014 factory GM Silverados are also a bit longer. You can wrap the cable around the tailgate striker and it will be slightly ajar. This is for charging, setting the rear view camera to get a better view of the hitch. Of course, the truck doesn't have that, but it's handy to leave the back door open sometimes. so no big deal for me. In any case. when the gate is closed with ribbons. Press on the eyelet end that is bolted to the tailgate. With little effort, it bends easily. Closing the cable in the trunk can damage the cable cover. Nothing good. It's part of a Van Dorman fender, but it's not rusty or prone to breaking like the old GM wires.
