My outside tailgate VENT FLAPS fell apart?
Has anyone else had a problem with the rubber flaps that cover the ventilation fins on the outside of their tailgate. All of mine have fallen off (one by one)hese little thin flat rectangle shape pieces on the floor of my garage but never notice where they were coming from, untill Bingo! I saw my rear vent obviously missing something.
My jeep is only 5 years old and garage kept. There is no good reason these rubber flaps should have degraded like.
Has any one elso come acress this problem and if so what did you do about it?

Mine came off like 2 years ago I didn't do anything about it. I was thinking of buying a new vent thingy but the same thing is gonna happened and so far it hasn't affected me in anyway lol

I will say that I know when my flaps came off: When I hit them with the water from the local car wash. So now I avoid doing that, and hope it lasts a little longer before falling apart.

There's a reason for this vent,when closing your doors it's a path for the air to get out otherwise your windshield will crack or your doors will be hard to close.As for sealing been in deep water to no leaks

The air that comes in the front vent exits through the rear vent. Otherwise, not much air would come in the front.
