tailgate

I see the submission from July 17, 2021, and does that still hold? The only way to drive with my kayak slightly sticking out the back is to put a padlock where the rear tailgate is supposed to latch onto the back of the car and fool it? No way to turn off the "ding" alarm?

Hello all, Just purchased my first Telluride ( but my 7th kia). I bought it from Copart and it is hit in the back. IF anybody knows where I can buy parts or there is a pull-a-part near them. I checked Ebay but the selection is not great. I live in OHIO. Willing to drive interstate for parts...
