We originally purchased a Handy Industies LLC louvered V tailgate for our truck because the first 5er had a short goose neck and if the truck was not backed in straight the tailgate would hit the front of the trailer. So when the 5er accidently came unhitched it took off the tailgate. We purchased a new one of the same brand, had it painted to match our truck, and installed it. Everything went fine until the first time we pulled our 5er. We now have a "whistle" that is audible to passing vehicles. After several heated discussions with the factory rep. they agreed to replace the tailgate but would not pay for the painting. And admited that they had a problem with "whistles" and even sometimes a siren sound. We tried several suggestions but none worked. We finally duct taped the sides of the tailgate to the inside of the truck bed and it stopped. So we put weatherstrip on the edge of the gate and it's not as bad as it was but still does "whistle" from time to time. Kinda gettin' used to it now.
