This heavy black pop rivet should provide enough strength to do the main repair. When the t/g is closed, this rivet will be hidden under the corner of the camper shell.

If your t/g isn't torn yet (even if the tab is broken), you can skip this, but it won't hurt to do it as a preventative measure on tailgates without any damage yet.
