Tailgate Wedge Adjustment

Tailgate Wedge Adjustment




1. Loosen the bolts (A) and move the tailgate wedge (B) up or down to align it with the tailgate wedge striker (C). Move the tailgate wedge in or out to center it. Then lightly tighten the bolts and recheck.
2. Hold the tailgate door handle out, and push the tailgate against the body to be sure the tailgate wedge allows a flush fit.
3. If the tailgate latches properly, tighten the bolts and recheck.
