Need advice. My bed is all together and mounted on frame. But the problem is the tailgate only closes if I push in on the bedsides real hard while trying to close it.. Any suggestions? Tried shimming and not shimming the ned to mess with angles with no luck. Pretty much all new box and tailgate.
Hi thanks for watching! If it's a completely new be or a bed that 100% taken apart. unbolt the rea cross sill under the tailgate and this allows you to widen and close the gap between the tailgate and the bed side also keeping the tailgate from chipping the paint when closing if too tight or if in your case too wide of a gap and need to close up. If that doesn't work the opposite end top two front bolts on the header panel connecting the bed sides will also allow you to widen and close the gap near the latching point. Hope this helps!!
@@R9Garage Hi thank you! bedsides were new but had a stock tailgate. Recently got a new tailgate, and the new one isn't fitting. I will try loosening the cross sill as you mentioned. Appreciate the help!
