Another Tailgate tip 700

I have a "helper spring" pulling up on the push-rod between the handle and latch. I don't know if this is original equipment because it looks quite new and the hook attaching it to the tailgate appears home-made. I have to say that while using aluminum for the tailgate is a fine idea as far as corrosion resistance is concerned, the lock cylinders on these tailgates seem to be more vulnerable to corrosion than most.
