Ve sv6 sportswagon tailgate release button

[MRVT]

Hi all i noticed today my sv6 sportswagon tailgate release button is very loose and rattly i think its warn out and time for a replace. Any ideas of price and how hard it is to replace?

No,but mine has been like that ever since i purchased the Car.Interested to see the replies in your Thread.

When I had mine in for a service last the Dealer actually pealed it half off and said it needs replacing,
I know it was ok, because I always empty the car when I got it serviced,
But line of BS tip it over the edge "it needs replacing"
When I got home I pulled it apart and re-fitted the back together,
but its now starting to peal off again, so they stuffed it up,
I have been chasing a replacement, but the Stealers want nearly $350 for it,
I thought about a S/Hand one from a wrecker,
but probably end up with the same problem, so I will keep searching,
In all honesty, its not really a good design.

Thanks forthat
I am also looking for a chrome strip, as the fixing bolts are also stuffed,
VERY poor design by Holden,
If I have time, I'm going to mask the front of the chrome strip, and fiberglass the fixing bolts in place on the back, hope the resin doesnt damage the plastic strip.
But also need to make sure they are in the exact location.
