2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 tailgate latch repair. (What the other videos DON'T tell you) 

I watched tons of videos showing how the bezel just pops right off.... WRONG! You MUST loosen the bottom of the three bolts on the INSIDE of the tailgate! Hopefully you don't have a bed cover that can't be opened from the outside of the bed, like I do. If you do have a bed cover, you're going to have to pry the bezel off and break it. Use a plastic pry bar, if you value your paint job. I just had my truck painted so I did care. :(
Here is the bezel I ordered on Amazon to replace it.

Like I mentioned in the video, if you search for the plastic latch arm clips, the results go from 1999 - 2007 and stop! I called the dealer and they have the "correct" parts for $5 something each, and they said that they changed the style in 2008 so the pair of 2007's for $5 won't work. Well, if you search these part numbers below, it will show that these work in the 2007,,, so... the 2007 ones online will work in the 2008 as well.
Another thing the other videos don't say is... install the clip into the latch holes first! Then put the arms into the hole and swing the clips up to click onto the arms. If you try to put the clip on the arm and force it into the hole, you're probably going to break your new clip!!!! It's SUPER easy to just swing it up and clip it on.....
The actual part #s for the plastic clips are.

I could have ordered these instead of paying over $5 each!

I hope this can save someone the frustration I went through trying to remove the bezel & finding the clips. I don't understand why so many videos had it all wrong?
