I'll get pics up if I can. But the tailgate still has solid metal. It's just the surface rust is what made the weather stripping fall off. I looked closer and the stripping is held to a peice of metal, probably bonded, and that metal peice is riveted to the frame of the upper tailgate. Could possibly be that all the shutting and opening the rivet's simply broke.
