After I purchased my '13 Expy last month, I noticed some corrosion on the tailgate lift around the chrome above the license plate and below the lift handle (see attached pics). So, decided to fix this issue before it got worse. A friend of mine does body work and was able to repair the corrosion. ‘Before’ and ‘After’ photos attached for comparison.

On the emblems - the Expedition logo on the left side has pins (use a heat gun or a hair dryer on ‘high’ to remove cleanly). The goofy-looking “Flex-Fuel” emblem on the right rear was NOT reinstalled!
