I bet they do, you know. Somebody else on here got a new tailgate too. (Can't remember who now as I was new to the forum at that time.) Hatfields said it was just too difficult to treat the rust and was far easier to just put a new boot on. It took about a week to get the part in and was in for a couple of days. I wish I'd asked them for any left over paint for touch ups, though....you might want to ask It's worth being cheeky sometimes lol!
