Using double-sided tape on the Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover?
I was looking at adding a Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover and http://www.formymercedes.com has those but the description says: "..this accessory is easily installed in minutes using the included durable all-weather double-sided tape..."
Is the double-sided tape the only way to add this chrome tailgate? Has anyone tried it? I'm a not confident that if I need to use tape for the installation, this tailgate will last very long.
Does anyone knows what's the OEM part # and how much does it cost?

I have the tailgate handle from For My Mercedes... very durable, still is on and doesnt budge, Its been close to a year and a half with it on. If you are weary of it and afraid it will come off, you can buy the 2004+ Tailgate handles, my dealership said 250. I said no way, and just went ahead with the one from Jerry.
Sorry for the small pic, heres mine.
