Now I'm pissed off!

I have no problem spending money on a good product.

Why would anyone make a product that is supposedly a "replacement part" that isn't an exact copy?

The original tailgate on my van is perfect except where the old bloke that owned it dropped the tailgate on the tow-ball and dented it. It fits and seals and does everything that it's supposed to do. I guess I need to trial fit the new one and see what the story is...., problem is that if I cut the corners out to fit the van it will be impossible to send it back if it doesn't fit!
