Re: Fix for sticky tailgate latch?
Take them out and soak them for rust removal and gunk build up. You’ll know for for sure when you remove all the parts what is actually causing the issue.
I took all my parts out when I replaced the handle. Cleaned up all the other parts associated with the tailgate. Even replaced the foam that goes around the rods inside the tailgate. Those pretty much were disintegrated. And that could be the issue also, the rods. They could be binding up.
Then the last order of tailgate business was to take care of the fit and finish. One side had a pretty big gap, where the other side was pretty much rubbing.
After everything was done, the tailgate is much better!
