Has anyone replaced the tether on their tailgate table, and it fit without falling off the little round thing it "connects" too?
My Bronco had one installed when I got it, looks like it is the Ford one, it was on the window sticker as a dealer add-on (I bought it used).

Anyway, one tether is broken, and looking on Amazon, I see several the right length, but the loop seems too big, so not sure it will stay connected when I close it up.

Anyone had to replace theirs, and found something worthwhile?

Here is one on Amazon that is the correct length (12 inches), but the looped end just looks too big (they put a lock thru it), and does not have an actual measurement on the size for it (just thickness).

Yup. I’ve redone mine myself. Let me check and see if I have left over parts and I can make you a set.

Oh yeah. I have plenty left over. I didn’t realize I ordered so much. Send me a PM with your address and I’ll ship you a set. They will be stainless, but way stronger than the Ford ones.

You sir, are awesome!
I tried to crimp a wire loop on the old one, that thing just flat out sucks!

It’s all good. I hope they last longer than stock! Mine have been good for almost two years.
