Good point about the Realtors. Some of them will have a NEW-CLEAR (as
opposed to nuke-you'll-er) meltdown if they read it, but you're right.
Makes them sound like idiots.

Go sign in at hondasuv.com and 'search' for 'tailgate' and 'latch'. I

Don't use white lithium or you'll be waiting for a warm day to go in
there AGAIN, like I am. :-) You'll figure out how to contact me if you
