Well made but a little glitch

This item arrived today. It appeared sturdy and well made. It was very easy install. However when I tried to work it, it would not release the latches on the tailgate. The arms that pull the latches were not pulled. Upon closer inspection and comparison to the original unit I noted that a plastic pin that should go through the locking arm and and top activating arm did not go through the later, hence no unlatching. I mulled over weather to return the item or try to fix a rather minor manufacturing error. I chose the later and filed the pin a little so I could snap it to the activating arm. Once done the unit appears to work. I will reinstall on my pickup and keep a close eye on it to see if it continues to work properly.
