Just email them and complain its broken, then usually keep their customers happy. I got a new tail for my G2 a while ago when it was my EDC.
A clicky replacement that was in nitrolon and color matched to the body?
i made my own out of the existing tailcap. I had a broken MTE Seoul that was laying around and i took the switch mechanism out of it that looks like this but with a pcb for the battery on the bottom.
i just had to pull out all the switch components from the G2 cap and dremel out the lock out tail cap ring inside. Then i threw in a GITD tailcap and put the new switch mechanism in and it worked beautifully, no gap at all, looked exactly like the original light just with a reverse clicky.

I sacrificed my original momentary/twist on tailcap on my SF 9P to make it a click on. I bought a Leef clicky, but didnt want the scalloped end. The shift was some what tricky, but got it to work at last. I think a G2 tailcap could be done the same way, but buy just the leef clicky.

Yes, and actually my one was not a lock out version, and i recieved a new lock out version
Will adding a nitrolon clickie really cost SF a ton of R&D money?
Are SF clickies really unreliable and prone to fail?
Will the price of a G2 increase significantly with a nitrolon clickie?
Do non - LEO users really prefer a twist tailcap over a nitrolon clickie?

Yes, my G2 is just like anyone elses, it doe snot have a clicky, its a momentary/twist + lock out. I have never seen a G2 with a clicky.
apparently you didn't see the part of anyone's posts to you that had the word "clicky" in them

See my post about using a maglite switch in a G2. Works great!
I also just got a HAIII McClicky from Lighthound on sale for $19 that works great too if you don't mind the color differance.

aparently you did not see the basic info where i said i complained about my tail cap, and they sent me a new one free. Does it matter if its a clicky or a momentary? its the mechanism to turn it on, and they sent me one out for free, because its their philosify to make their customers happy.

I actually like the regular mechanism. It's simple and not going to do funny things when you least expect it.
I found these threads on a Nitrolon clicky end cap mod for G2:

I could not agree more! This is why my next flashlight wants to have a switch like this, its almost bomb proof. A clicky can be damaged and need replacing, but a momentary... whens that gonna need changing?
