How are the air pressure flaps in the tailgate removed?
Without damaging them?

Say perhaps if a person dropped a bolt inside tailgate and needs to retrieve it.

Very, very carefully. (Neodidlyum magnet on the tip of a telescoping probe from the harbor of freights). Oh, God, my dog has terrible gas tonight...

With a trim panel tool -- check the JCR Offroad instructions for their tailgate table that requires removing the vents: https://www.jcroffroad.com/install_guides/INSTALL_BR6-TAB.pdf

Thank you for the table tip. Appreciate it!
We have a nice set of trim tools and installed an antenna to spare tire carrier.

That silly bolt didn't settle in a place where it is quite. It is loose and rattles.

The trim panel tool is the right tool, you just have to locate the three clips underneath the edge of the vent piece and leverage them carefully. I wouldn't go around like a normal trim piece prying until a clip pops

Thank you. I saw the places labeled PUSH. With the linked illustartion it makes much more sense.
