Noticed these nearly rusted-out clips on the tailgate lifters. This area must be getting water in it somehow. Anyone else noticed this? Know where I can get replacements?

This is a 2021 with 50k miles on it. I would think the warranty on these expired?

Almost definitely so. I have an early 2021 build with no such issue. Swing past the dealer and get an estimate for replacement and trouble shooting the water leak I guess.

That area under the hatch isn't sealed on my '22. I always wipe it dry when I wash the car. Maybe your clips have been exposed to a more-corrosive form of ice melt, or maybe just regular road salt?

I live in Seattle and mine looks like yours after 30K miles.
