rounding off rusty screw heads that hold it to the tailgate is the only thing I can think of :)

and getting high on paint fumes........

Indeed, what they said ^^ Probably a good excuse to sort out any rust thats there. Get some new screws... take off the number plate lights, if theres no rust, cool! If there is, well you'll be painting anyway, so wont hurt to do it all at once!
