ABSTRACT:
A tailgate assembly for an automotive vehicle has a tailgate for providing access through an opening in the vehicle when in an open position and for blocking access through the opening when in a closed position. A pair of dual function striker pins, one on each side of the opening, provide a striker shoulder for interaction with a tailgate locking mechanism and a cable shoulder for receiving an end of a tailgate retention cable. A separator between the striker shoulder and the cable shoulder prevents the cable from sliding from the cable shoulder onto the striker shoulder.
