Tailgate trouble - wont close!
Hey guys,
My tailgate won't close, it appears as is the fingers aren't springing out to catch the latch on both sides. Is the fix to replace these parts? I can't figure any other solution. I've made sure that the rods are connected on both ends. My tailgate handle is flopping in the breeze so this is what I've figured out!
Did both of my springs just quit at the same time?
Here is a pic of the spring mechanism i am talking about:

Priblem solved.
I tried everything that was recommended bit nothing would fix the tailgate. I removed the cover plate over the tailgate handle and I staeted feeling around the left hand locking mechanism that clips onto the latch pin and found a small button that released a pin that was disengaged for some reason. once the pin was engaged the tailgate wpupd close properly. I could not fimd the pin on the rignt side.
