Tailgate was a perfect fit. It was damaged in the shipping process, so I contacted customer service. The representative worked fairly to resolve my dispute, I elected to repair the Tailgate instead of returning the product.

I had no problems with the product. The shipping is a problem and two tailgates arrive dented. The box does not have enough protection no Styrofoam in the corners to keep it from getting dented.

Question: Do you have a tailgate for 96 2 door tahoe ?Chris W. / Mar 31, 2025
Hi Chris, No. We do not carry a direct-fit vehicle-specific tailgate for your 1996 Chevy Tahoe Base/LS/LT. There should be one available from many online car parts retailers. Glad to assist you!
