[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 634320, member: 20098"] As above, some photos and some more details would be useful to better describe your issue. The wedges shouldn’t be relied upon for tailgate alignment - they are just there to stop it from flexing and moving when closed. The best way to check the issue is to eliminate anything that could be moving it, so pop the seal out and then close it. After that, the only points of adjustment are where the hinges bolt to the tailgate, and the striker plate for the latch. You should be able to see what needs adjusting after doing the above. If this fails, or there isn’t enough adjustment in those parts, it could be a poor repair in the past meaning the tailgate aperture is not correct. [/QUOTE]
