How to Get a Replacement Bolt for the DeeZee Tailgate Assist

Question

Question:

The bolt that mounts in the tailgate for my DeeZee Tailgate Assist on my 2013 F-150 has become stretched and loose. Ive tried re-torquing several times only for it to become loose again. It was originally installed as per your video instructions. Does DeeZee offer a replacement bolt and installation hardware? Also required is the knuckle clip for the lower knuckle. Please advise if DeeZee sell this part as well. Looking forward to your reply.
