[FC] Installing Emblem on rampside tailgate.

[robert wilson]

When I had my tailgate repaired and repainted, I put a little bit of grease
on each of clips before installing them in the tailgate to aid installation
(prevents rust too).  You could also put a little bit of grease on the
emblem studs if they are hard to push in.
