Re: Tailgate panels separating - how do you fix?

See what size the spot welds are and use a slightly over sized bit to drill thru both panels removing the old spot welds.

Clamp it back together completely, not one spot at a time, then each new spot weld clamp a small piece of aluminum flat bar 1/4 " min. to the bottom of the weld area and weld it up. The aluminum will keep your weld from falling thru.
It's actually pretty easy to do.
