Rod Clips for the Truck Hero Armor Flex Tailgate Cover

thingiverse

This is a small clip used for securing the rod that holds up the Truck Hero Armor Flex Tailgate Cover when it's being stored (see picture). The OEM part broke identically on both sides, it appeared to have been injection molded and had a narrow section. This left me with those two rods just swinging around in my tailgate getting banged up. I had called the manufacturer and they promised to send me a replacement that never showed up so I designed this one! I've reverse engineered the original part as much as possible while strengthening the areas where I could see it breaking. I've included a 5mm, 7mm, & 10mm part. I found the 5mm was a bit thin but could be installed by just rotating the piece in the channel. The 10mm was too thick for that but could be pushed in with some force. Pieces feel very secure.
