A tailgate assembly for an associated vehicle body includes a tailgate body movable between a closed condition and an open condition with respect to the associated vehicle body. A spoiler is secured to the tailgate body and includes an upper portion configured to overhang in a cantilever fashion from the tailgate body and opposed side portions. A seal molding is adhered to one of the side portions and extends along a side edge of the one side portion. The seal molding has an extension portion that in the closed condition of the tailgate body is located in a gap between the one side portion and an adjacent body member of the associated vehicle body. The extension portion together with the one side portion defines a water channel that opens outwardly with respect to the associated vehicle body for directing water away from the tailgate body.

The second mounting pad is recessed toward an interior of the vehicle. The second glass variation has a slider rail and a slider glass, while the first glass variation is devoid of a slider rail and slider glass.
