Daystar tailgate bumpstops are a joke
Tried installing them this morning and I couldn't get them screwed in all the way, so I used a small amount of force while turning them and then the damn thing rips in half. Would be better if they simply popped in like stock the ones. Waste of $25.

I had the same problem, but was able to take my time, well at least able to walk away from it 4-5 times and only managed to rip one partially. By then, I knew I would have to rip it I half to even consider taking them back.

The daystars have bad reviews all over the net. I extended my oem bump stops with some rubber pipe couplers over a year ago... No problems

Ha. Yup. I too was bamboozled. Wasted my money on them a long time ago. Lesson learned. I run the Teraflex hinge and carrier now with extended stock bumpstops. No issues
