I Found the Rolling Thunder in my tailgate

So I picked up my new Raptor last week and love the truck. As I'm checking the truck out when I get it home I notice something odd with the tailgate. It has a very distinct sound of something rolling up and down as the gate opens and closes. Sounded like a marble, a very consistent sound. I started with removing the access panel but it was lower in the gate which is separated by a bulkhead. So I looked thru the little hole in the mounting bracket and see something yellow. I immediately knew what it was, chapstick. Burts Bees to be more exact. Now I have a problem, it won't fit thru the hole. So I was able to pull the step assembly out of the gate and with some finesse coax it out. Some poor dude at the factory has dry lips now. http://www.fordraptorforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=100275&stc=1&d=1528847984

You'd spend a half day or more of your time driving to and from the dealership and then letting a bunch of brain dead hammer mechanics mess with your truck?

That's certainly one way of doing it.

I'd just fish it out myself and go on with my life.
